Energy Efficiency in Industry fact sheet Find out how industries can reduce their carbon footprints. This is an information sheet describing practices that can be used by industry to make energy use more efficient and thus reduce power bills as well as lowering greenhouse gas emissions. A number of examples from the mining industry, such as the redesign of dragline buckets, are given, and some photographs are included. |
Energy Efficiency in Homes fact sheet Find out how to save energy at home and reduce your carbon footprint. This is an information sheet describing strategies that can be used in the home to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. It includes some images. |
Renewable Energy in Queensland fact sheet Renewable energy is used from a number of sources in Queensland. Approximately 6% (745 megawatts (MW)) of the 12,500 (MW) of electricity generating capacity in the state comes from renewable sources. The most significant of these is biomass primarily bagasse or sugar cane waste.In this fact sheet an overview of renewable energy generation in Queensland is provided. |
Renewable Power Stations in Australia interactive Google map This is a Google Earth interactive map showing the locations of all operating and proposed renewable energy power stations in Australia. Each location is represented by name and an icon corresponding to the type of energy used. Students can click on the icon to see basic information about the ownership and location of the facility.Queensland Resources Council wishes to acknowledge the considerable assistance provided by Geoscience Australia in the provision of these maps. |
Hydrogen fact sheet Find out how hydrogen gas is produced and used. This is a fact sheet providing information on hydrogen production from fossil fuels and renewable energy sources. The uses of hydrogen are briefly discussed and information is provided about hydrogen fuel cells. |
Solar Energy fact sheet Solar is one form of renewable energy. Solar power can be used in two different ways as a heat source and as an electricity source. This fact sheet looks at the techniques for harnessing solar energy such as solar thermal, solar gas, photovoltaic systems, and the solar energy industry in Australia. The advantages and disadvantages of solar energy are also examined. |
Geothermal Energy fact sheet Geothermal is considered a form of renewable energy as heat is continuously produced from deep in the earth. This fact sheet looks at the major types of geothermal resources, the potential for geothermal energy in Australia and the advantages and disadvantages of geothermal energy. |
Energy PowerPoint Compare the advantages and disadvantages of renewable and non-renewable energy resources. This is a PowerPoint presentation, with accompanying teacher notes, which outlines the characteristics of a range of renewable and non-renewable sources of energy. It describes the positives and negatives of renewable energy sources, such as solar energy, and non-renewable energy sources, such as coal. |
