Repower Port Augusta - The Solar Thermal proposal to replace coal
Repower Port Augusta is a proposal to replace aging coal plants Playford B and Northern in South Australia with solar thermal and wind power.
Six solar thermal plants and ninety five wind turbines will replace the 4650 GWhrs that the coal plants produce on average (based on 2008-2009 generation levels), which equates to 31% of South Australia's electricity supply requirements.
Cutting Edge Renewable Energy Technologies
In moving to a low-carbon economy, some renewable energy technologies that are pretty much a sure thing – wind farms, rooftop solar photovoltaic panels, hydro power, and bagasse, for instance.

Toxic materials as a recycled product in Qld Road Pavements
The seminar provided a brief background on the uses of toxic material in pavements around the world.
There are numerous toxic materials that can be used as recycled products in road pavements. These include used tyres, waste from power plants and construction waste.
The topic covered looked at the overall picture on how this industry has come about in the US (California), and how Recycled Roads pavements can implement similar systems in Queensland.
