The RACE White Certificates Project examined two Industry 4.0 opportunities for enhancing Australia’s existing State-based white certificate schemes.

This report primarily examines what is required to unleash Australia’s Consumer Energy revolution from a range of technological, regulatory, system, and other perspectives.

Buildings play a significant role in energy consumption and the emission of CO2 worldwide, accounting for approximately 40% of the world’s energy consumption and contributing to about 35% of total greenhouse gas emissions.

Driven by limitations of current carbon accounting and certification approaches, there is increasing interest in time-matching within corporate renewable energy PPAs and certification.

Abattoirs are energy-intensive businesses that use vast amounts of energy for both heating (steam and hot water) and cooling…

Using phase change materials for flexible demand in industrial refrigeration

This project has reviewed three commercial transport refrigeration systems (vapour compression, cryogenic and eutectic) and developed a concept design for an innovative eutectic refrigeration system.

This report contains a techno-economic assessment of biogas production using agricultural wastes including sugar mill wastes and chicken manure.

The food value chain faces many challenges as it delivers essential and valued services to consumers while confronting climate change, increasing costs, disruptive innovation, extreme competition and many other issues.

The energy, water and waste sectors share a common policy objective of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and a commitment to the Global Methane Pledge of cutting at least 30% of anthropogenic methane emissions by 2030 from 2020 levels.

We have published two milestones reports for this project that can be found on the project’s webpage.

Two pretreatment options for improving energy from wastewater treatment plant sludges – thermal hydrolysis and wet air oxidation – are explored in this report.

This report is the culmination of a targeted technical and economic feasibility study aimed at reducing the risk of adoption of Mechanical Vapour Recompression (MVR) technology for heat supply in the meat rendering and processing

We have published two milestones reports for this project that can be found on the project’s webpage.

This report outlines details of the installation and subsequent testing and monitoring of a first-of-a-kind refrigeration system, which integrates a natural, low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant (CO2), with indirect evaporative coolers, to deliver energy efficient cooling at a Coles supermarket in South Australia.

The Energy Trends Visualisation (ETV) project was established to explore and develop prototypes of at least two online tools that assist energy stakeholders access data to navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by the energy sector transformation. By making crucial energy trends more visible and comprehensible, the visualisation tools aim to inform decision-making, build consumer trust, and drive innovation.

The report is a review of existing literature and research opportunities for transforming energy productivity through value chains…

In Australia, industry consumers nearly half of the total end use energy, out of which, 37% is used in process heat, representing approximately 750 PJ/yr…

The RACE for 2030 CRC has commissioned an opportunity assessment on flexible demand and demand control…

This opportunity assessment report explores the various benefits, barriers, regulation, and business models currently available for Industry 4.0 technologies

The aim of this Opportunity Assessment for Anaerobic Digestion (AD) in Australia is to deliver a research roadmap that identifies the most impactful projects to 2030 that create new markets and scale-up the biogas industry in Australia..

There are numerous publications on the topic of drivers and barriers to flexible electricity demand and customerside participation. These publications include reports written by industry, government, the community sector and academic researchers, covering a wide range of countries and regulatory environments.
