Energy - Geoscience Australia Geoscience Australia is involved in the discovery and development of a number of different energy sources both onshore and offshore. A large part of the current program involved the Government's Energy Security Program. Geoscience Australia is specifically involved in areas such as geothermal energy, petroleum based energy, uranium and thorium and other less developed forms of potential energy. BasicsA secure supply of adequate, clean, reliable energy at an affordable price is vital for Australia’s economic growth and prosperity. Fortunately, Australia is well endowed with an abundance of both fossil and renewable fuels. Petroleum Resources Petroleum resources include oil, gas, coal seam gas, oil shale and unconventional resources. Coal Resources Coal is a fossil fuel of sedimentary origin that has formed by coalification of vegetation over millions of years. Uranium and Thorium Resources Australia currently is the world’s third largest producer of uranium after Kazakhstan and Canada.

The trailblazing Hepburn Wind farm set the bar when it comes to community-owned energy projects in Australia. And many more projects are on the drawing board. A new organisation known as the Community Power Agency was launched this week to support Australia’s rapidly developing community-energy sector. “Australia’s community-owned renewable energy sector is growing exponentially,” said Community Power Agency co-founder, Nicky Ison. The Community Power Agency will provide much needed sector-wide advocacy and support. “While community energy is growing quickly, and many communities are excited to establish renewable energy projects, just like any new sector they will need support if they are going to succeed.” The Community Power Agency, set up as a social enterprise, provides research and mentoring for community groups. “Community energy is a great opportunity for regional development.
