corena - Interest-Free Loans for Community Climate Projects
Climate action that keeps giving
How a simple idea—lend it, get it back, lend it again—is powering solar, batteries, and EVs for community organisations across the country. What if the money you donated to climate action never actually ran out? That’s the question at the heart of a new video interview between Corena committee member Phil Browne and Greg, host …
Many people are not clear about how much time is needed to charge an EV. One of the most common questions we get about electric vehicles is “How long does it take to “fill” them up?” and how will this affect the use of the vehicle by staff? It’s an important question for non profits …
Australia, considered by many of us as “the lucky country”, is increasingly becoming unluckier due to the alarming consequences of climate change. From devastating bushfires to catastrophic floods and relentless heatwaves, the frequency and intensity of natural disasters are on the rise. It’s no longer a question of if a disaster will strike, but when. …
The climate emergency is a stark reality, its effects rippling across the globe in the form of extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and disrupted ecosystems. While governments and industries have a crucial role to play in taking climate action the collective efforts of individuals and households are equally vital. We, as consumers and members …
Imagine a world where a car doesn’t just get you from A to B, but also powers your home or workplace and supports a cleaner energy grid. You buy a car and you get a mobile power plant thrown in, which can power your property and/or the electricity grid. This is the promise of vehicle-to-grid …
Community renewable energy projects are evolving beyond simply generating clean electricity. Across Australia and the globe, innovative initiatives are integrating shared electric vehicles (EVs) and charging infrastructure, powered by renewable sources like solar, into their community energy models. This exciting convergence offers a powerful solution to reduce carbon emissions, lower energy costs, and foster stronger, …
Updated: December 2024 As the world increasingly takes action to tackle the climate emergency, one technology set to make a massive difference in the amount of carbon emissions released into the atmosphere is that of electric vehicles. Thanks to green energy innovations and emerging renewable technologies, electric vehicles have also come a long way over …
Climate resilience is something individuals, organisations, and societies alike all need to consider in anticipation of current and expected future extreme weather events as well as projected sea level rises that will accompany climate change. In part resilience involves disaster response, by having systems and processes in place to deal with increasing numbers and severity …
With the world progressing ever more decisively towards decarbonisation, thankfully, within the transportation industry, many automotive manufacturers have committed to transitioning their vehicle offerings to electric rather than internal combustion-based vehicles, paving the way for a greener future. As such, a new variety of commercial electric vehicles have been developed and are coming to market. …
Updated: April 2025 There has never been a better time to transition to renewable energy and technologies like electric vehicles in Australia. Over recent 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 …
