A new analysis has found that inflation and supply chain issues have caused significant increases in the cost of renewable energy projects in Australia, with cost pressures likely to remain till the end of this decade. The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) have released a report…
Australian Chief Science Body the CSIRO Upgrades Quantum Tech Outlook to $6Bn
Australia’s national science agency has upgraded its market projections for quantum technology. CSIRO expects quantum technology to generate 8700 jobs by 2030 before more than doubling to 19,400 by 2045, according to new modelling. The sector’s revenue is tipped to hit $2.2 billion by 2030 and almost $6 billion (US$3.78 billion) by 2045. The modelling released on…

The CSIRO announced that it will be releasing the Venturia paralias fungi to attack the invasive coastal weed called sea spurge that is threatening nesting sites of native Australian little penguins as well as coastal vegetation. “Our research found that the fungus is highly specific towards sea spurge. Based on our results, the fungus was…
New Rail Network to Slash $200 Million in Transport Costs for Australian Businesses
Australian businesses could save over $200 million (US$144 million) in freight costs each year if they switch to the under-construction Inland Rail once it is completed, new research has found. According to the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) modelling, the 1,700 kilometre Inland Rail network would drive down the cost of transporting 22…
Australian Researchers Find Wheat Gene More Resilient to Hot, Dry Climate
Australian researchers have discovered a new method that could allow the growth of more wheat in harsher climates, according to a new report. Published in the Nature Climate Change journal, the research found a potential strategy revolving around sowing wheat earlier and deeper, by taking advantage of stored soil water. However, modern varieties of semi-dwarf…
‘Metal-Organic Frameworks’ a Solution to Non-Refrigerated Vaccines: CSIRO
A CSIRO study has found MOFs (metal organic frameworks) to be a possible solution to address the challenge of transporting temperature-dependent vaccines. According to the study, for vaccines to work with the maximum potency, they must be stored in specific conditions to avoid degradation across manufacturing, distribution, storage as well as administration; also known as the…
