Coastal shipping with swap out electric container batteris have always been proposed to decarbonise shipping. Now the first 2 by Cosco are in production. 36 batteris, 24 Tonne CO2 per day less emissions
Queensland has announced 2 large pumped hydro schemes costing over $30 billion and not due to come onliine on 2029 to 2035. Large projects have major financial risks, but QLD is determned to have large capacity long term storage.

Fusion or fiction – can fusion actually provide essentially high quantities of low emission electricity. Or is another 30 years of research needed
Sophisticated modelling shows hydrogen for home heating is a non starter except in a few use cases and heatpumps and batteries provide a more effective solution to home energy use.

Carbon Capture and storage is a strategy for reducing carbon emissions but the evidence is that it is a scam for fossil fuel companies to use government subsidies while at the same time increasing carbon emissions. Even worse, taxpayers will be responsible for end of life projects.
