Research reveals how integrating solar energy in the LNG industry can cut Australia’s carbon footprint
A collaborative project between Santos, Charles Darwin University, Sun Cable, Northern Territory Government and NERA, has found that solar energy integration was potentially economically viable to offset up to 50 per cent of the plant’s emissions from electricity generation.
NERA is proud to be supporting and participating a number of upcoming events, including:
- Future Energy Summit
Tonsley, 16–21 November 2021 - EECON2021
