    Acknowledgements We would like to thank Monica Richter (World Wide Fund for Nature and the Science Based Targets Initiative), Anna Freeman (Clean Energy Council), and Ben Skinner and Rhys Thomas (Australian Energy Council) for kindly reviewing this report. We value the input from these reviewers but note the report’s findings and analysis are those of ClimateWorks Australia. We also thank the organisations listed for reviewing and providing feedback on information about their climate commitments and actions. This report is part of a series focusing on sectors within the Australian economy. Net Zero Momentum Tracker – an initiative of ClimateWorks Australia with the Monash Sustainable Development Institute – demonstrates progress towards net zero emissions in Australia. It brings together and evaluates climate action commitments made by Australian businesses, governments and other organisations across major sectors. Sector reports from the project to date include: property, banking, superannuation, local government, retail, transport, resources and energy. The companies assessed by the Net Zero Momentum Tracker represent 61 per cent of market capitalisation in the ASX200, and are accountable for 61 per cent of national emissions. Achieving net zero emissions prior to 2050 will be a key element of Australia’s obligations under the Paris Agreement on climate (UNFCCC 2015). The goal of the agreement is to limit global temperature rise to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to strive for 1.5 degrees. 2 Overall, energy sector commitments are insufficient for Australia to achieve a Paris-aligned SUMMARY transition to net zero. Australia’s energy sector This report finds none of the companies assessed are fully aligned with the Paris climate goals, and must accelerate its pace of most fall well short of these.

  • Climate Variability and Water Security for Power Generation
    Hydro-climatology: Variability and change (Proceedings of symposium JH02 held during 233 IUGG2011 in Melbourne, Australia, July 2011) (IAHS Publ. 344, 2011). Climate variability and water security for power generation ADAM M. WYATT & STEWART W. FRANKS University of Newcastle, Callaghan, New South Wales 2308, Australia [email protected] Abstract A reliable supply of fresh water is a critical component of coal fired power generation. During periods when water supplies are reduced, power generation may be limited, with obvious impacts on power consumers. Using the reconstructed historical streamflow series contained in the IQQM water allocation model, and simple water balance modelling, the water supply security of the Bayswater Power Station in the Hunter Valley, Australia, is assessed. The study revealed that the supply of water to the Bayswater Power Station is sensitive to extended dry periods, with some historical periods experiencing water shortfalls so severe that the station would be shut down without alternative water supplies. Key words climate variability; water supply security; water balance modelling; IQQM; Hunter Valley, Australia INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study is to determine the impact that climate processes such as the El Nino – Southern Oscillation have on the reliability of the water supply within the Hunter Valley, Australia. Specifically this study focuses on the water supply security necessary for power generation by Macquarie Generation at the Bayswater and Lake Liddell power stations. The generation of electricity using coal fired power stations such as Bayswater and Lake Liddell is dependent on a reliable supply of fresh water to replenish losses due to the operations of the power stations.

  • EIS 110 Eraring Open Cut Coal Project
    EIS 110 Eraring open cut coal project: environmental impact statement. NSW DEPT PRIMARY I AAO57C THE ELECTRICITY COMMISSION OF NEW SOUTH WALES ERARING OPEN CUT COAL PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT THE ELECTRICITY COMMISSION OF NEW SOUTH WALES ERARING OPEN CUT COAL PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT MAY 1980 i I SUMMARY Eraring Open Cut Coal Mine is proposed as a source of coal for Eraring I Power Station. The Commission has planned the open cut to utilise a major resource and provide a stable and reliable coal supply to the power I station. I Location I The mine site is located 9 km south-west of Toronto, 3 km north of the village of Dora Creek, and 1 km north-east of the township of Cooranbong. There are approximately 50 million tonnes of coal within the site I boundaries and it is planned that the resource be worked at a rate of up to 2.5 million tonnes per year over a period of approximately 20 years. I Initial production is planned for 1983. Operations Control I The mine is to be operated by a contractor to the Electricity Commission. A Commission representative will be stationed at the mine site to oversee the mining operation, environmental conservation and reclamation. I Mining Plan Mining will commence with a box cut in the south eastern corner of the site I and progress from south to north. Mining practice will include removing high relief overburden with trucks and shovels, then stripping down to the I coal seams with draglines. The mine will employ approximately 270 persons.
