Think Small: The Australian Decentralised Energy Roadmap

Mon, 19 Dec 2011 00:00:00 GMT

Recognising the impact that rising electricity use and in particular, rising peak demand is having on the cost of electricity, the Intelligent Grid Research Program is investigating technologies and practices to make Australia's electricity networks smart, greener and more efficient. One outcome of the iGrid Research Program is the Australian Decentralised Energy Roadmap, which was released on 15 December.

Draft Energy White Paper

Mon, 19 Dec 2011 00:00:00 GMT

The Draft Energy White Paper was released by Resources Minister Martin Ferguson on 15 December. The document was prepared in a very different environment compared to that which existed in 2004, when the last Energy White Paper was released. Australia’s annual energy exports have risen from $24 billion to around $69 billion.

How the game has changed: are energy saving projects your hidden opportunities?

Tue, 08 Nov 2011 00:00:00 GMT

We are now in a vastly different financial landscape to 2008.

Companies need to go back to the drawing board, dust off project concepts and find many more that had been dismissed as not viable in the past. Cogeneration projects, more capital intensive energy productivity projects, extensions to heat recovery systems, and other energy savings investments that did not stack up then may well stack up now.

It is your fiduciary duty (and your Board’s) to act on these opportunities.

Summary of planning considerations for the incoming price on carbon

Tue, 08 Nov 2011 00:00:00 GMT

At the centre of the Clean Energy Future legislation is the price on carbon - directly targeting Australia’s largest emitters but having the broader effect of signalling a shift towards a low carbon economy.

Carbon Price 2012: What CFOs need to know

Wed, 12 Oct 2011 00:00:00 GMT

For CFOs there are specific implications arising from a price on carbon for corporate profits, finance, planning, forecasting, risk management, compliance and investor relations.

CFOs need to understand the range of new costs, mitigate their impact, and discover new business opportunities. They also need to minimise carbon risk, and ensure that robust systems are in place which comply with the principles of comparability, completeness, accuracy and transparency.

To assess your business' carbon status you should focus on:

Cost, profit impacts and compliance issues to consider
Risk management
Business opportunities from a price on carbon

Integrated Sustainability Solutions for Climate Sensitive Isolated Communities

Thu, 16 Dec 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Remote and isolated communities close to mining operations, or specifically developed to house mine site employees, often face weather extremes and therefore more challenging living conditions. To keep employees and their families comfortable, a range of (energy intensive) indoor climate control systems are used. The choice of these systems must also take into account the cost and efficacy of the energy supplied. In examining energy and climate control options, the designers must consider rising and volatile energy prices, and concerns about security of supply due to aging and therefore increasingly unreliable energy infrastructure.

Tracking Energy Performance Benchmarking – where does your site stand against industry best practice?

Thu, 16 Dec 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Over the 25 years that Energetics has been working with the mining industry, we have built and refined energy datasets to create benchmarking information. Benchmarking is useful in that it identifies areas of exceptional performance, areas of poor performance and areas of average performance.

Tracking site energy use in mining through the Energy Mass and Balance Tool

Wed, 01 Dec 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Smelting operations and refineries have long had a business need to understand site energy use as the electricity used to power these sites represents the majority of variable operational costs. More recently however, interest in understanding energy usage has broadened across the mining sector.

Energy Efficiency Action Curves

Wed, 01 Dec 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Energy efficiency is often regarded as the “low hanging fruit” of reducing power costs and securing lower operating costs, because energy efficiency measures are usually comparatively cost effective and easy to implement.
