ABOUT US
We’re an Australian non-profit, independent, non-partisan organisation dedicated to delivering a transport and energy system that is affordable, circular, and has minimal impacts on our health and the environment.
OUR VISION
Australia’s freight and energy sectors are the cleanest and most affordable in the world. Powered by vast quantities of sunshine captured as electricity or zero-emissions e-fuels, Australian ships and trucks deliver Australian green energy, iron and critical battery products to the globe. At home, we breathe clean air, enjoy cheap freight and feel secure in Australia’s energy independence.
OUR PURPOSE
Find and solve the unloved or unrecognised commercial and policy hurdles that could unlock zero-emissions transport and energy at scale.
Our Approach
Find the high leverage point
Where do policy, technology and market trends converge to create high impact opportunities? Who has already solved or tested this globally that could accelerate Australia?
Build the case and coalition for change
What do we need to believe to act now? How might we align industry, philanthropy and government around clear policy, investment and execution plans?
Follow through and measure
How do we ensure momentum and accountability beyond the announcement? What metrics prove real progress toward zero-emissions transport and energy, and how do we course-correct based on what we learn?
