Fossil fuels are responsible for greenhouse gas emissions that are driving climate change. Therefore, taking climate action both on an individual and organisational level is pivotal in order to help tackle the climate emergency and establish sustainable and renewable energy sources as the leading form of power generation in Australia. To address the detrimental effects …
There has never been a better time to transition to renewable energy and technologies like electric vehicles in Australia. Over the past two years, the country has undergone something of a renewable energy revolution, with solar power capacity growing in leaps and bounds as well as more and more people and organisations alike getting off …
Installing solar panels and transitioning to renewable energy is one of the best ways your organisation can reduce carbon emissions and energy costs. Here at CORENA, we work with a wide range of not for profits, providing interest-free loans to install solar panels and other energy efficiency measures to tackle the climate emergency. If your …
Climate change is a global challenge that demands local solutions. We need to, decarbonise, shift rapidly to net zero and support the uptake of renewable energy, energy efficiency, electrification of vehicles, plus opportunities which will see use reduce carbon emissions immediately. Citizens Own Renewable Energy Network Australia (CORENA) is an Australian renewable energy and community …
With the rise of electric vehicle technology and an ever-increasing uptake by the public, there are many electric vehicle benefits for organisations that you might not be aware of. CORENA works with a wide range of not for profits, social enterprises and community organisations, many of which use vehicles in their operations. These include delivery …
Solar energy has grown massively over the last decade in Australia. More recently, electric vehicles (EVs) have taken off thanks to an increase in availability and a decrease in cost. With a need for all businesses to rapidly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, using solar panels to charge electric vehicles is a great way to tackle …
Just like individuals, every organisation, whether private or public, for-profit or non-profit has a carbon footprint. An organisational carbon footprint is usually defined as the quantity of emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) that can be related to the activities of that organisation. The carbon footprint is often extended to emissions of other greenhouse gases – …
The science tells us that we need to rapidly shift to net zero and together reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. An increasing number of businesses, organisations, and countries alike, are making commitments and taking tangible actions in order to become carbon neutral. No matter your size, whether big or small, making your non profit carbon …
Congratulations – you have installed your solar system and taken an important step to greening your energy and supporting the climate. Once installed, solar panels maintenance is relatively easy, however, in order to keep everything in check and running optimally there are some important things to consider. Although solar systems are designed to be rugged, …
In Australia, gas is commonly used as an energy source for cooking, hot water systems and heating. To reduce emissions and tackle the climate emergency, a lot of attention to date has focused on transitioning from coal fired power to more renewable sources of energy such as solar. Both domestic and commercial use of gas has …
