Energy transition: Transport electrification
David Glynne Jones
Sunday 4 August at 3.00pm
Manning Clark House, Tasmania Circle, Forrest
In the fourth presentation of the Energy Transition 2024 series, David Glynne Jones will report on the current status, trends and outlook for electrification of the transport sector, including road, off-road, rail, marine and air transport. The transport sector accounts for around 20% of global energy consumption and CO2 emissions, and transport electrification is the emerging pathway to reducing transport emissions and significantly reducing energy consumption and costs. Future presentations in the Energy Transition 2024 series will include land use and environmental impacts, energy resource stewardship and the circular energy economy, and the politics of energy transition.
David is an independent advocate for the adoption of renewable energy and electrification across all sectors of the Australian economy. He is currently assessing the implications of emerging advanced battery technology for electrification of the Australian transport sector.
There will be a Q&A session following the presentation, then light refreshments.
