NIER welcomed a delegation of visitors who had a keen interest in hydrogen research to the precinct
Our aim is to reduce carbon emissions to net zero by 2050, whilst creating jobs and economic growth in NSW on a massive scale.
Working Towards Net Zero
Reaching ‘net zero’ means there’s an equal balance between the carbon emissions produced from all sectors, and the emissions being taken out of the atmosphere. Greenhouse gas emissions need to be as low as possible to avoid climate catastrophe.
The NSW Government’s Net Zero Plan aims to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 - increasing widespread use of renewable energy sources, while growing the economy and creating jobs. The NSW Decarbonisation Innovation Hub was created to accelerate this process by facilitating and supporting projects within our three Networks.
