Australia’s Energy Mix Transition in 2024-2025: Renewable Energy Growth and Fossil Fuel Decline

Australia's energy sector is undergoing a profound transformation, marked by a decline in fossil fuel reliance and a boom in renewables. According to Low-Carbon Power Data , fossil fuels accounted for about 59% of electricity consumption in 2024-2025, with coal at 45% and natural gas at 13%. Renewables contributed 41%, led by solar (over 21%), wind (14%), and hydro...

The Carbon Trapped: CO₂ Mines of the Future

Introduction CO₂ mineralization represents a paradigm shift in carbon capture and storage (CCS), accelerating natural weathering to convert atmospheric CO₂ into solid carbonates within geological formations. Unlike traditional storage in saline aquifers, which risks leakage, mineralization binds CO₂ permanently in rocks like basalt and peridotite, creating what experts call "trapped carbon" reserves. Flagship efforts, such as the CarbFix project in...
