An Evolving Geopolitical Compass: Steering Our Energy Transition
Wednesday 28 May
Join the Perth Branch of the Australian Institute of Energy for lunch with Andre Winarto (Perth USAsia Centre) to delve into the impact of global trade wars on Australia’s energy transition.
Andre will provide an expert presentation over lunch on the current challenges of the trade wars facing Australia in our quest for energy transition, addressing supply chains, rising costs, Australia’s vulnerabilities and how we can secure our transition.
Webinar: Energy Literacy as a Crucial Tool for Building a Sustainable Future
20 May, 6:00 pm (AWST)
Energy is a hot button topic of the day. News feeds are filled with energy-related stories, often liberally sprinkled with terms like firming, storage, intermittency and capacity factor, as well as the basic terms “power” and “energy” – which sadly are often confused. Without delving too far into the physics, Nick’s talk will provide some clarity around the basic concepts of energy and power, and show several examples to help sense check some of claims and counter claims that are made in this politically contentious field
Corrosion in CCS: Lessons Learned and the Road Ahead
21 May, 5:30 pm-7:30 pm (AWST)
Professor Thunyaluk (Kod) Pojtanabuntoeng will explore current knowledge surrounding corrosion and material degradation in CCS systems. Despite growing research in this area, several critical gaps remain—particularly inconsistencies in reported findings, limitations in experimental setups, and uncertainties about long-term performance—which undermine the reliability of predictions and system design.
