WHERE WILL WE SOURCE OUR ENERGY?
In this special year-end event, some of the University of Adelaide's - and Australia's - leading figures in the fields of environmental science, energy and resources will address one of the most critical issues facing humanity.
Together, our expert panel will present on and discuss:
- The overwhelming need to transform energy systems worldwide, and the key role to be played by next-generation nuclear and related technologies.
- Why pathways to low-carbon energy should not only embrace economic and social sustainability, but generate global "first mover" opportunities for Australian industry.
- How new Australian processing technologies are realising the potential of microalgal biofuels as a viable renewable energy source.
- What the local and international aviation sector is doing to reduce energy consumption while maintaining growth.
Questions will also be taken from the floor. Don't miss this important and potentially controversial final Research Tuesdays presentation for 2013.

Professor Barry Brook
