Technology plays a central role in Australia’s efforts towards innovation and sustainability.

• Sunshine Hydro utilizes a software solution called AESOP to blend renewable energy sources efficiently.
• Enosi has developed Powertracer smart metering technology to trace carbon-free energy at a grid level.
• Collaboration between Enosi and Google aims to improve power-sourcing strategies for companies.

These companies showcase the vital role of Australia’s IT industry in achieving the nation’s renewable energy goals.

Skills required for supporting renewable energy and sustainability in Australia include electricians, technologists, and AI experts.

The Australian government has invested $5 billion in collaboration with Microsoft to develop AI talent for sustainability projects.

Terra.do, an online platform supported by Mike Cannon-Brookes, aims to train over 100,000 Australians in clean-energy roles by 2027.

While technology is being aligned with sustainability goals, challenges related to AI sustainability remain.

• Political debates exist on investing in nuclear versus renewables to meet power demands.
• Australia’s enthusiasm for AI may hinder sustainability goals due to its power consumption.
• AI applications consume significant power and water resources, impacting sustainability efforts.

As Australia strives to lead in sustainability and AI, it must address the environmental impacts of AI and find a balance between technological advancement and ecological responsibility.
