The industrial world runs on heat, but until now, we haven't had a good way to store it. That's all changing fast. Thermal energy storage is an overlooked but critical solution for decarbonisation, especially since industrial heat accounts for 2/3 of the sector's energy use.

I don't think we fully grasped yet how important solar will be as an energy source. Great graph Carbon Brief based on International Energy Agency data.

Behind the housing crisis debate lies a simple and unspoken prejudice: Where migrants live, others will not. Meadow Heights, near Coolaroo and Broadmeadows, is where I grew up and where family still live. Built out by the Urban Land Authority in the 1980s, it quickly became a

Betting on hydrogen as the key solution for decarbonising industry looks increasingly like a very bad idea. Yes we will need to replace grey and black hydrogen used as feedstock with clean hydrogen but as a fuel the economics look terrible.
