  • NZMT-Energy-Report May 2021.Pdf
    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.

Like most churches of a similar age Brookside has seen change. Change in our world, Prime Ministers come and go, sporting championships played for. We have seen the highs and lows of a town built around mining. We have seen our farmers go through droughts. We have seen babies born and children grow and we have been there as people have left our church family, be it for work, school or being called to glory. I believe that through this we as a church have done what churches do. We have met together be it during a weekly service or in home groups, we have offered prayer and worshipped together, we have laughed and had moments of joy, as well as times where we have cried and mourned together. We have shared meals and communions, we have seen people commit their lives to Jesus and be baptised.
