About us
We are RACE for 2030: an industry-led Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for energy and carbon transition. We were established in 2020 with $68.5 million of Commonwealth funding. Our 80 partners provide us with cash and in-kind contributions. This combined funding allows us to invest around $350 million of total resources in research, commercialisation, capacity building and market transformation through to 2030. We are committed to helping Australia accelerate its transition to reliable, affordable, clean energy by 2030. Our aim is to deliver over $3.8 billion of cumulative energy productivity benefits and 20Mt of cumulative carbon emission savings.

New report: 24/7 TRUZERO: Tracking Renewables Utilisation for Zero Emission Reporting and Operation. Businesses are stepping up their renewable energy commitments by going beyond net-zero targets and aiming for 24/7 carbon-free energy. Our latest report explores how time-matched renewable energy contracts (like PPAs) can drive clean investment and create a truly sustainable energy future. The key takeaways from this report: 💠 Time-matching can significantly reduce carbon emissions for businesses. 💠 It can also help hedge against future electricity price hikes. 💠 We're already seeing innovative companies adopting 24/7 carbon-free energy contracts. The future of renewable energy procurement is here, learn how your business can lead the way!

Our latest report "Consumer Energy Unleashed", calls for a shift in energy policy and research to build the 21st-century power system Australia needs. The report highlights the untapped potential of Consumer Energy Resources (CER) such as rooftop solar, batteries, electric vehicles, and flexible loads. With millions of Australians already generating their own power, it's time to fully harness this potential to create a more resilient and sustainable energy future. The report's key takeaway? Australia needs holistic processes to reimagine our power systems to fully value, reward, and integrate CER. This will be critical for creating power systems that empower and incentivise CER operation that benefits both individual consumers and the whole system. We are committed to working together to unleash the full potential of consumer energy and build a better energy future for all Australians.

What are the benefits of air-source hot water heat pumps? We asked the experts! Our research has shown that heat pumps are more efficient than traditional gas hot water systems, yet adoption amongst customers and tradespeople remains low. We wanted to explore the reasons behind this and work towards breaking down the barriers and misconceptions. As part of the Australian Alliance for Energy Productivity (A2EP) Spotlight on heat pump tours, we sat down with Trent Jones, founder and electrician at Want A Heat Pump and his colleague Matt McIndoe, a plumber, to get their insights. They shared their thoughts on the benefits, training, rebates, and education for both customers and installers. To ensure a smooth transition to a cleaner energy future, it is crucial to inform consumers and professionals of the benefits, training requirements and opportunities that come with these changes. A successful transition relies on the collaboration of all stakeholders. Watch the full video here and let us know your thoughts! https://lnkd.in/grpwgS-H #heatpumps #cleanenergy #energytransition #energyworkforce
