As we look back at 10 years since ARENA was first established, we’re speaking with one of the most important names in Australia’s clean energy journey, Ross Garnaut. Economist Ross Garnaut has many descriptions attached to his name  - emeritus professor at the University of Melbourne and the Australian National University, former economic adviser to Prime Minister Bob Hawke, ambassador to China, author - but there’s one label you may not have heard: “An old dog for a hard road”.

Hysata CEO Paul Barrett explains how research undertaken by two Australian universities is helping them produce the world&rsquo;s most efficient hydrogen electrolysers. Early in 2022, Australian technology company Hysata announced they had developed a groundbreaking hydrogen electrolyser. The news made a splash, offering a pathway for emissions free hydrogen to compete with methods of production that rely on fossil fuels.

Game-changing electrolysers with Hysata’s Paul Barrett

Creative ways of storing energy from the wind and sun will be needed to power the next phase of the energy transition. This week on ARENA&rsquo;s podcast Rewired, we speak to Dr Marnie Shaw from the Australian National University about a new wave of community energy projects. Unlike the small household batteries that are installed behind the meter to soak up rooftop solar power, community batteries can be installed across the distribution network to benefit all households.

The gift of a solar powered car at just eight years of age set 5B&rsquo;s Nicole Kuepper-Russell on a pathway that is transforming the way the world produces energy. Now the Chief Operating Officer at solar pioneer 5B, Kuepper-Russell joins Rewired to explain how the company's unique approach is making solar faster to deploy and more affordable. With support from ARENA, 5B is deploying robots and automation at their Sydney manufacturing plant. The project aims to bring down the cost of their prefabricated 'Maverick' solar arrays that will soon underpin the world's largest solar farm.See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

Australian innovators AMSL Aero are taking renewable energy to the skies with their futuristic reimagining of the aircraft. Founders Andrew Moore and Siobhan Lyndon joined us this week to share their vision for air travel and explain how soon we might take off in their emissions free &lsquo;air taxi&rsquo;. Moore has used his aeronautical engineering background, paired with 15 years experience in the aviation industry, to inform the design of AMSL Aero&rsquo;s &ldquo;Vertiia&rdquo; aircraft. It takes off vertically like a helicopter, using eight electric powered rotors that rotate to horizontal to allow it to fly using a pair of wings. It will come with the option of hydrogen fuel cell or battery electric propulsion, with hydrogen able to travel 1000 kilometres for the same weight as the battery version which can cover about 250 kilometres.

Rewired is back for its biggest season yet.
In season four, we will hear how ARENA funding is helping to trial new ways of producing metals like steel and aluminium using renewable energy.
Experts will share progress commercialising technologies like renewable hydrogen and electric vehicles, which are finally achieving long-held potential.
And we will explore how Australia&rsquo;s riches of wind and solar could unlock opportunities to undertake more energy-intensive processes onshore, creating jobs and wealth.
This is our most ambitious season to date, with twice as many episodes giving us the chance to showcase more of the ways Australia is unlocking a renewable energy future.

Australia is in the midst of an energy revolution and The Innovators wants to take you to the cutting edge of it.  It's a place of hydrogen-producing solar paint, of virtual power plants and energy cryptocurrencies.  It's a place of pure innovation and leadership, sparked by individuals with a renewable energy future in their sights and, often, extraordinary stories of their own to tell.  Yes, between the politics, the market and the consumer, there's a lot of noise distorting the energy debate right now.  We want to cut through that with stories of world-leading technology, bold ideas, the value of persistence and would you believe it, the motivating force of failure.  Hosted by Adam Morton, The Innovators is a six-part series and is the second of the Rewired podcasts powered by ARENA, the Australian Renewable Energy Agency.  Find out more at www.arena.gov.au/blog
