A message from Smart Energy NT:

SmartEnergy NT Action Alliance

3pm- 6.00pm Thursday June 20

ABB, 54 Export Drive East Arm Berrimah

If you would like to attend please go to Sticky Tickets to register. www.stickytickets.com.au/87616

We are please to advise that in conjunction with Environment Centre NT we will be having the public launch of the Beyond Zero Emissions Report: "The 10 Gigawatt Vision: How renewable energy can power jobs and investment in the Northern Territory", Speakers Eytan Lenko and Vanessa Petrie - BZE. Following the presentation we will be forming the four groups listed below to work on projects to achieve our goals.

SmartEnergy NT Policy Group will be formed to explore ways to achieve our goals and then create policy suggestions and form alliances with like minded groups such as RepowerNT. This Group will be led by Alan Langworthy who was the chair of the Roadmap to Renewables committee.

SmartEnergy NT Technical Group will be created to search the world for technical solutions to create stronger grids and microgrids with the goal of producing technology the will assist us in the NT and give us the opportunity to export the technology elsewhere in Australia and overseas.

We are fortunate to have a wonderful facility which specialises in Microgrids for ABB right here in Darwin with research and testing facilities which are world glass. This group will be led by Juergen Zimmermann from ABB who is a passionate Territorian who has the strong technical knowledge to lead this group.

SmartEnergy NT Hydrogen Group will be formed in response to the strong interest shown following our event on April 10 when the Chief Scientist for Australia, DR Alan Finkel, spoke on the medium and long term opportunities for hydrogen in the NT.

With Japan and Korea already committed to becoming Hydrogen economies and our gas already being exported to these countries the NT is in an ideal position to produce Green Hydrogen (fully renewable generated) to these countries and others. On the local scene it was agreed there are opportunities to develop ‘inspirational’ and development Hydrogen project here now. This could be particularly so where high cost diesel is the present way to generate power.

Repower NT Working Group to advocate for the recommendations within the BZE report and to work with the 3 other groups to create a powerful voice for the 10 Gigawatt Vision.
