Energy Sustainability in Australia

April 19, 2011 at 9:59 am

We have all seen the advertisements and articles for renewable energy in Australia ensuring a cleaner country for the future and sustainability of our energy resources. It seems that the majority of energy retailers are pushing renewable energy and sustainability but is it really what Australians want?

According to the Australian Government Department of Resources Energy and Tourism renewable energy is not a key driver for consumers. Renewable energy only accounts for 2% of Australia’s energy supply and it is only forecasted to reach 8% of Australia’s total energy consumption by the year 2029 far from the current goal of renewable energy making up 20% of Australia’s consumption by 2020. Coal and oil will continue to be the primary resource due to its affordability.

So why are the forecasts so far off the goal, it is not due the lack of awareness, Origin Energy is currently running its Sustainability Drive campaign promoting sustainable energy and to help build ‘green’ neighbourhoods. Also other major retailers including Tru Energy, Red Energy, AGL are all pushing GreenPower accredited energy plans.

A Soccer Ball that is an Energy Generator?

March 2, 2011 at 10:37 am

Electricity is a rare thing in more countries than we think and new sustainable energy sources and generators are being designed to help people in third world countries access electricity. Take this as an example, a soccer ball that generates energy through use. sOccket is a fun and portable power source invented by four engineering students from Harvard University. This innovative soccer ball produces energy when you play with it, the more it gets kicked, the more energy it generates!

In most African countries, more than 75% of the population don’t have access to electricity. This soccer ball has been distributed in third world countries to help them be provided with an extra source of power. Soccer is the most played sport in the world and this little ball not only serves as entertainment, but also as a valuable energy source. Once you’ve finished playing with the ball, you can then use it to power LED lights or to charge batteries.  To generate about 3 hours of LED Light, only 15 minutes of play is required.

Lumo Energy, Living Links, City of Kinston Planting Day

Media Release

Thursday 9 September 2010
On Sunday 5 September more than 50 local residents attended the Lumo Energy Community Planting Day – planting 2,000 trees to help restore and revegetate a section of the lower Mordialloc Creek.

Local residents donned gloves and gardening tools, preparing and planting indigenous species along Mordialloc Creek before enjoying a barbecue lunch.

The enthusiastic local residents were joined by local City of Kingston council member Trevor Shewan, who said he enjoyed getting his hands dirty planting out the seedlings with local community volunteers.

“It was a great day with heaps of food on hand to curb our hunger, and beautiful sunshine following all the rain we had on Friday and Saturday night. A special thank you to Lumo Energy for partnering with the City of Kingston to support this Living Links project,” Trevor commented.

Lumo Energy is the most recent partner of environmental program Living Links – donating a stunning $30,000 investment to the group. This investment was matched by the City of Kingston, with the $60,000 investment being used to provide a great boost to the long term program to rehabilitate the creek environment opposite George Woods Reserve in Mordialloc.
