2018 Federal Government Report on Energy Research

whitePaper | January 21, 2020

As the third decade of 21st century begins, the oil and gas industry faces opposition from a public greatly concerned with the environmental impact of fossil fuels, ever-more skeptical shareholders, and challenges from policy makers seeking to simultaneously meet decarbonization goals and expected oil and gas demand. Amidst a global energy transition, the demand, financial, and social future of oil and gas companies is increasingly in question.

This report presents one strand of the pathway to a genuinely sustainable future. It is not, as so many other reports have been, about “green growth projects”. Rather, the ambition is to propose a quite different way of life that will deliver a different kind of prosperity, one that prioritises wellbeing and builds resilience via a localised circular economy.

Energy security and affordability present global challenges, but both are integral elements of a successful energy transition, alongside sustainability to mitigate climate change. The current energy crisis is driving inflation, slowing economic growth and contributing to social turmoil. Some choices made by countries in response to the crisis, such as improving energy efficiency and scaling renewables, will be beneficial for the wider energy transition. But other actions – including increased production of electricity from coal and broad-based consumption subsidies – put longterm energy transition imperatives at risk, while leaving those countries more vulnerable to future crises and putting global climate goals out of reach.

The utility industry struggles to store and analyze the ocean of data recorded by state-of-the-art distribution devices. Performing some analytics locally—within the devices themselves—promises to unlock new operational value and cost effectiveness, and the first phases of testing needed to prove that theory are now complete. Laboratory investigations showed distributed intelligence (DI) applications far surpassed the capabilities of cloud-based analytics for three common use cases on the distribution grid; and field testing confirmed the results across thousands of customer meters, while also revealing other valuable, real-world applications for the data.

Fundamental developments in science, technology and society are transforming the generation, distribution and use of energy. At the heart of these changes is a shift away from traditional carbon-heavysources toward renewables. Together, with technologies such as battery storage, microgrids, and electric vehicles, net-zero energy is in sight.
