CSIRO's Dr. Dietmar Tourbier emphasizes that Australia’s ability to achieve its 2030 renewable energy goals relies on system alignment rather than solely new generation technologies. With renewables comprising 51% of the National Electricity Market by Q4 2025, reaching 82% by 2030 poses challenges that include investment in grid integration and community engagement.

Key initiatives involve addressing bottlenecks in infrastructure, advancing carbon capture technology, and enhancing electrification in transport and industry. CSIRO aims to innovate solutions that reduce costs and bolster public support for the transition.
