energy transition

Construction has officially commenced on the first large-scale battery energy storage system in the New England region of New South Wales. The project is being developed alongside the 720MW New England Solar Farm, which remains the largest solar project in Australia.

The Green Aluminium Initiative in Australia is a groundbreaking project investing $2 billion in sustainable aluminium production. Aimed at transitioning the sector to renewable energy sources, this initiative is crucial for reducing carbon emissions and enhancing the competitiveness of Australian aluminium on the global stage. With support from industry leaders like Rio Tinto, the initiative faces both support and criticism, highlighting the complexities of balancing environmental goals with economic considerations. As the government takes strides towards a more sustainable future, the aluminum industry's transformation will play a vital role in shaping Australia's energy landscape and international commitments to sustainability.
