Spark Club Podcast - Ep75 - 3rd September 2026 Highlights – CEF's field trip to China CATL, XCMG and China Hongqiao Group  Tim Buckley and Matt Pollard's three highlights from their China trip in August: CATL: RD&D: CATL invested an annualised RMB22.7bn (A$2.3bn) in R&D in 1HCY2026, up 13% y-o-y, with 22,000 staff deployed in RD&D, including 700 professors, with >60,000 patent applications and 17 new patents being borne daily! Extensive use of data, robots & analysis means CATL targets an error rate of 1 part per billion! China Hongqiao Group is China's #2 integrated aluminium producer, and they toured the largest single-site aluminium smelter in the world, 4x the capacity of Tomago in Newcastle. This smelter has reduced its annual emissions by 32Mtpa since 2020, with a lot more reductions underway. XCMG: CEF joined Fortescue & XCMG at the largest commercial deployment of autonomous EV mining vehicles at China Huaneng Group's 35Mtpa open cut opencut coal mine in Inner Mongolia. The highlight was the confirmation that having successfully deployed 100 autonomous EV mining trucks in May 2025, by Sept'2026 this will double to 200 and then treble to 300 trucks by Nov'2026, 18 months ahead of the original 3 year rollout. Follow the money – one of the largest coal mining utilities in the world sees this technology as commercial, even as BHP and Rio Tinto continue with their climate walk back. Highlights – Asian Carbon markets progress Matt and Tim attended a full day session in Beijing with 30 people from the greater Asian region to discuss China's carbon market expansion, and the progress on carbon market developments from India to Thailand, Korea and Philippines. A key point was made by China's Assistant Director General of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment that climate markets are an integral part of China's sustainable economic development. The focus is on building momentum towards greater Asian regional cooperation in carbon market development, particularly in regional trade so as to extend and leverage the EU ETS and CBAM. It was great to hear Minister Bowen last month talk about his push for a path to an Australian CBAM, particularly as it was followed by his Australian meeting late August 2026 with China's Minister of Ecology and Environment, Huang Runqiu, for the 10th Australia-China Ministerial Dialogue on Climate Change. Lowlights – The WA by-election last week Not only did ONP win a strong 57% two-party share of the total vote and take the seat of Secret Harbour, but the WA ALP fielded Woodside's ex lobbyist as their candidate, and Woodside was one of the largest donors to her election campaign. Yet more evidence of the state capture of the WA government by the fossil gas industry. Main Story – My keynote presentation this week to the RE Construction Summit This week Tim is presenting in Sydney at the Renewable Energy Construction Summit, see presentation is available via CEF's website. Main themes are: #1 We are making strong progress on the journey to 82% RE and beyond, even if we are tracking 1-2 years behind Minister Chris Bowen's ambitious 2030 target. The 12 month moving average for RE share hit a record high of 46.9% in August 2026. Rooftop solar installs are on track for an all time record high of 4GW in CY2026, up a third on the last 5 years' average.  This is supported by the 2,000 home battery installs per day being delivered thanks to Minister Bowen's massively successful program. And rooftop C&I is finally set to surge with Bowen's latest incentive program, all leveraging the existing grid and thereby lowering average retail electricity prices for all. And while AEMO's new ESOO flags a record 9.1GW of net new generation and storage capacity (utility and CER) was added in FYU2026, almost 3x that of the last five years, the reality is we need to see progress rise another 50% and then sustain that for the next decade.  The CER's August 2026 report highlights that another cumulative 7.5GW of utility scale renewables capacity has reached FID but yet to be commissioned, with a record 32.2GW in the CER's probable category. Progress is being made, but we must see this accelerate, and for this to happen, we must see project proposals that have won CIS leverage this and get to FID and into construction. The only way we get coal plant closures is by building replacement renewable generation capacity beyond what is needed to cover the ongoing growth in electrification, including EVs and data centres.   What's coming up?  Later this week Tim is off to Adelaide for a German-Australia green iron and steel roundtable, followed by attending the Asia Hydrogen Summit, where Tim is moderating a panel on path to commercialisation and deployments Next week TIm is off to Canberra with Prof. Liz Thurbon and Oliver Yates to meet with the Chinese Embassy to suggest ways for greater bilateral China-Australia collaboration, and meeting with Treasury again re the FTC reform Then Tim will be going to the Gold Coast to see a potential battery assembly factory with eLumina, then talking at a community event on China's energy transition hosted by Mara Bun with Annastacia Palaszczuk, Chair of the Advanced Materials & Battery Council, and like me, a massive fan of seeing first hand China's energy system transformation and the opportunities for greater Australia-China collaboration. The following week Tim will join a Canberra Parliament delegation (including Mick Liubinskas' VC event on the 16th), then he's speaking at an Ethinvest event in Melbourne on the evening of the 16th, then a Sydney Freight Electrification event on the 17th then talking at the Everything Electric Sydney event on 18th Sept.

L'opérateur australien du marché de l'électricité (AEMO) prévoit que la consommation énergétique des centres de données pourrait être multipliée par sept d'ici dix ans. Cette hausse serait principalement due à l'essor de l'intelligence artificielle et des services en ligne. Les prévisions s'appuient sur 225 projets de centres de données identifiés. Le Premier ministre s'exprimera ce soir sur ce sujet lors du dîner du Business Council of Australia, avant une réunion du National Cabinet demain consacrée à l'IA et aux projets de loi associés.Pour plus d'histoires, d'interviews et d'actualités de SBS French, explorez notre collection de podcasts ici >https://www.sbs.com.au/language/french/fr/collection/featured-podcasts

Australia's electricity grid operator is forecasting that data centre energy use will increase seven-fold over the next decade. A new report by Anglicare Australia has found that young people are earning less, owning less and carrying more debt. The world's oceans have reached their highest daily temperature on record. - オーストラリア・エネルギー市場管理機関（AEMO）は、データセンターの電力使用量が、今後10年間で7倍に増えると予測しています。新たな報告書で、若者の収入や保有する資産が減る一方、抱える借金は増えていることが分かりました。世界の海面水温が、1日の平均として観測史上最も高くなりました。Listen to SBS Japanese Audio on Tue, Thu and Fri from 1pm on SBS 3.

من المقرر أن يتناول رئيس الوزراء أنتوني ألبانيزي قضية مراكز البيانات وارتفاع استهلاك الطاقة المرتبط بها في كلمة أمام العشاء السنوي لمجلس الأعمال الأسترالي مساء اليوم، وذلك قبيل اجتماع المجلس الوزراي الوطني غداً الأربعاء. ومن المتوقع أن تهيمن على الاجتماع قضايا مرتبطة باستخدام الذكاء الاصطناعي والتشريعات المقترحة لتنظيمه. وكانت الهيئة الناظمة لقطاع الطاقة AEMO، قد توقعت ارتفاع استهلاك مراكز البيانات للكهرباء بنحو سبعة أضعاف خلال العقد المقبل، في ظل التوسع المتسارع في استخدام الذكاء الاصطناعي .

The Australian Energy Market Operator is warning that data centres will put huge pressure on the national electricity grid over the next decade.

As Australia moves toward an all-electric future, a key question looms: how can we meet the surge in electricity demand that will be needed when we all drive electric vehicles, heat our hot water with electricity, cook with induction stoves and heat and cool our homes with reverse cycle air conditioners? Modelling from the Australian National university, using the ACT as a case study, suggests the answer lies not in building more infrastructure but shifting when we use power. By charging electric vehicles and heating water during the day, when solar energy is plentiful and network demand is low, we could electrify our homes and transport without overloading the system. The lead researcher on the ANU study was Dr Bjorn Sturmberg, who now works with AEMO's Future Energy Systems team.

HEADLINES: Kids as young as five are waiting up to six months for help after experiencing domestic violence, with a new report warning Australia's support system is failing children altogether. Women using performance and image-enhancing drugs are being left in the dark about the risks, with new research finding clinical guidance is based almost entirely on studies of men. Our electricity supply could be next in the firing line, as criminals increasingly use artificial intelligence to attack Australia's energy grid faster and more effectively than ever before.

Promises made, promises kept folks - grab your limited edition t-shirt right here. Subscribe to LMSU's Patreon for the latest episode of My Little GSOO™ This week Tennant and Frankie give Luke the slip as we unpack AEMO's 2026 Gas Statement of Opportunities. Electrification at pace? You betcha! Gas import terminals? Some still like ‘em! Global fuel crisis? So far unaccounted for, but we can't say the same for one c-word. Run, don't walk, over to www.letmesumup.net and subscribe to our Patreon to check it out. — Wouldn't you know, the world is *still* cray cray, but extant so let's take that win! The PM is one national address into this crisis and throw in the National Cabinet's latest four point plan (the National Fuel Security Plan) and some COVID-style PTSD is kicking in! But not to worry folks, we are at Level Two and the message is very much Don't Panic, Take The Train Or Work From Home If You Can. We reckon this is a fascinating exercise in laying down markers for messaging that will be ramped up, and we'll continue to speculate over some of the woolier bits in Levels 3 and 4. WATCH THIS SPACE. Our main course There's no shortage of ideas abounding at the moment on how exactly not to waste the current fuel crisis, but your intrepid hosts landed upon the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis' latest paper, ‘The perfect storm to boost energy security: How Australia can reduce its oil exposure in the wake of the Iran conflict.' Brought to us by Kevin Morrison and Amandine Denis-Ryan, the crew at IEEFA do a splendid job of laying out the history and context around Australia's current predicament of much more marginal reserves than our IEA counterparts and while they're at it, serve up a menu of sensible solutions on the supply and demand side, to ensure we don't find ourselves in this particular pickle again. Bilateral crisis supply agreements? We're seeing some signs of that! Electrification and energy efficiency? That sounds like a thing we're about! One more things Tennant's One More Thing is: true nerd appreciation for the just launched Artemis II! A cool, technically stupendous and peaceful adventure into space! Fun fact: Apollo-era NASA took funding peaking at about 4.6% of US GDP to land men on the moon. Artemis-era NASA is rebooting this while getting about 0.1% of US GDP Frankie's One More Thing is: A plug for the NSW Net Zero Commission's advice to the NSW Government intended to help inform the work underway for the new NSW Net Zero Plan to 2025, due to be released in mid-2026. They're big on electrification and methane, and Frankie is, unsurprisingly, a fan. Luke's One More Thing is: the just released movie of The Magic Faraway Tree. Luke had some trepidation noting Enid Blyton's outsized impact on his childhood reading, but the ultimate verdict was 3 out of 5 stars - from Menzel and his younguns! And that's it for now, Summerupperers.

Spark Club Podcast recorded on 31 October 2025 Highlights BESS deployments booming in Australia Batteries are the biggest disruptive force in global energy markets in 2025. Australia becomes world's third-largest utility battery market. Australia has overtaken the UK to rank behind China and the US in utility-scale battery capacity, with 14GW/37GWh of projects at or nearing financial close. Rystad Energy estimates the Australian pipeline of battery projects jumped 45GW in one year from 109GW in August 2024 to 154GW now. Meanwhile Minister Bowen is rightly crowing about the >100,000 home battery installs so far. Worth noting the world's largest hybrid BESS by MASDAR in the UAE, a 5GW solar and 19GWh BESS designed to provide 1GW of 24/7 power supply commenced construction this week. And AEMO's new 3Q2025 Quarterly Energy Dynamics report reveals that average wholesale electricity prices across the National Electricity Market, fell to $87/MWh, down 27% on the same quarter last year. AEMO says the surge in battery storage – up an average 461MW in the evening peaks – clearly had an impact on other peaking generation sources, with gas fired generation down 11%. All of these factors also helped the renewable share hit a new 3Q high of 42.7%, nearly 10% higher than the Q3 average of 39.3% last year. You'd never know this reading the mainstream climate science denialist media! AEMO's Quarterly Energy dynamics report had great news for Minister Bowen.  China The September 2025 electricity generation statistics for China show a ⬇️ 5.4% yoy decline in coal and gas generation for the September month, and a ⬇️ 1.2% yoy decline in the first nine months. And with cement production volumes -5.2% yoy YTD 2025, and crude steel volumes -2.9% yoy YTD 2025, that is consistent with Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA)'s suggestion that China's national emissions peaked back in March 2024. Rho Motion reports China's EV sales in the first nine months of 2025 are 9.0m, +24% yoy, largely in line with the global rate of +26% yoy (given China is 61% of global EV sales in 2025 YTD), while China's EV exports are booming. Lowlights Sanjeev Gupta strikes Australia again, and again, this time InfraBuild InfraBuild reported a net loss of $250m in FY2025 and is likely trading while insolvent, thanks to Gupta have borrowed $1.07bn of really expensive debt against it. Beyond time ASIC acted against directors. Tomago Closure Threats Rio Tinto is threatening to close Tomago aluminium smelter due to their inability to access cheap coal power beyond 2028. Oliver Yates has proposed a simple government intervention to ensure low cost zero emissions firmed #RE to permanently solve this problem. We cant afford to have every multinational corporate lining up for $100-1000m subsidies, blackmailing the Federal Government trying valiantly to implement their FMIA, 82% RE by 2030 and Green Metal Exports policies. The Methane Gas lobby is out in force The NSW and SA governments are out lobbying on behalf of SANTOS, trying to force Narrabri gas development through again, and again. Meanwhile the SA government announced another $17m taxpayer subsidy for new methane gas developments in SA. BlueScope is leading a manufacturing lobby group calling for more gas development. The obvious solution is to accelerate electrification of everything so we permanently remove our addiction to fossil fuels. Main Story – Fossil fuel subsidies It was Tim's pleasure to met former US Vice President Al Gore at the IGCC annual investor conference, and then for a follow up private session hosted by Wollemi and SEC with Australia's largest Asset Owners. Al Gore had Tim when he demanded governments should stop giving fossil fuel companies subsidies! Al Gore stamina and determination is seriously impressive, he spoke for over an hour at IGCC then gave a lunch presentation and then another afternoon presentation. CEF continues to advocate for the Federal Government to reform the diesel fuel rebate, a $12bn annual subsidy for expensive high emissions imported diesel. It was brilliant to have Matt Kean, Chair of the CCA repeatedly call out this massive $12bn annual subsidy by Treasurer Jim Chalmers, the 15th largest budget expense item, and promote CEF's Transition Tax Incentive idea to instead incentivise the mining majors to invest in electrification and decarbonisation. CEF will be working with a growing coalition of aligned voices from CANA, LEAN, ACTU and Fortescue et al to push for this long overdue reform, particularly given it would be perfect announceable for Minister Bowen if and when Australia gets the COP31 presidency! What's coming up? Next week Tim is joining the ACBC for a full day discussion on Australia-China Energy Transition Dialogue then 2 days with the Climate Capital Forum in its third Parliament House delegation this year to discuss key issues in cleantech – YFYS, diesel fuel rebate and getting public capital deployments accelerated. Then in December Tim is joining the NSW Government for a battery forum in Guangdong China.

Kia ora,Welcome to Friday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news the financial world is waiting for Fed boss Powell's Jackson Hole scene setting speech.In the meantime, US initial jobless claims held steady last week from the prior week at +195,000. But in fact seasonal factors should have produced a good fall. So seasonally adjusted, they are reporting an unexpected rise. The number of people on these benefits held at 1.97 mln when they usually retreat at this time of year. Analysts are flagging concerns about the lack of progress. A year ago they fell to 1.86 mln, so they are +110,000 higher now than then.US existing home sales rose, and by more than expected in July and only the second month-on-month gain of 2025. They ran at the rate of 4 mln per year, the best level since February. However, the stock of unsold homes swelled (to 19 weeks of supply), and the latest sales came with the average selling price dropping, now at US$422,400.More generally, around their overnight earnings release, the Walmart CEO noted that tariff-tax price pressure is driving up prices on a weekly basis now. However, they reckon they will get a net benefit as shoppers turn to them from others forced into even higher increases.And the Conference Board's index of leading indicators fell in July, extending its 2025 retreat and at a faster pace in the past six months than the prior six months. Keeping the pressure on this index are the retreats in new orders, and weak consumer sentiment.The Philly Fed's factory survey certainly shows the new order problem which turned negative in August. And firms report that inflation is embedding at higher levels for their input costs. There is a sense that this heartland manufacturing region is starting to go backwards again. Those in this survey 'expect growth' in the future, but they have been signaling that for all of 2025 and if that aspect turns, things will possibly feel a bit grim there.But the early August S&P Global/Markit PMIs for the US are not downbeat. On the factory side, they report a good recovery from July. On the services side a slip from a still-expanding base. They also report faster input inflation as they paid the tariff-taxes.The Canadians also reported rising input costs in their PPI release overnight.Japanese business is on the rise. Business activity across Japan's private sector expanded at the fastest rate since February midway through the third quarter, according to the August PMI survey data. The upturn was supported by a fresh increase in factory production alongside a further solid rise in activity at service providers. Total new business also expanded at the quickest rate in six months, though this was driven solely by the service sector. New export business fell at a steeper rate, however.In China, it is becoming clearer that officials are increasingly worried about strained finances at central and local government agencies, and that both firms and employees are suffering from delayed payments. Apparently, the pressures are severe, warranting President's Xi's attention. Special bond issues are underway to juice up the necessary funding.In Europe, the flash PMI reports indicate an improving situation for both manufacturers, and in the service sector. New orders increased for first time in 15 months in August. The factory PMI rose to expansion and its best in more than three years. Its services sector expanded faster, although like everything in Europe the benchmarks are not high compared to the rest of the world.Overall EU consumer sentiment held at modest levels in August, although to be direct, they are still substantially negative and remain lower than their long-run average.In Australia, the S&P Global/Markit August PMIs are quite upbeat. They said Australia's business activity growth accelerated midway through the third quarter, with faster expansions across both the manufacturing and service sectors. This was supported by higher new work inflows, including a renewed expansion in exports. In turn, Australian private sector firms raised their staffing levels at a faster rate to cope with additional workloads. Business sentiment also improved slightly from July.Australian consumer inflation expectations fell to 3.9% in August from 4.7% in July, easing for the second straight month and marking the lowest level since March.And energy regulator AEMO says more wind, solar and storage capacity was added over the past year to the electricity grid in Queensland, NSW and Victoria than in any year before. The risk of blackouts and service disruptions is fading, they say.Globally, container shipping freight rates fell -4% last week from the prior week to be -60% lower than year-ago levels, although year-ago there was extensive stress from tensions in the Red Sea. All the weakness currently is in outbound cargoes from China. Bulk cargo freight rates fell -5% over the past week, but they are still +10% higher than year-ago levels.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.33%, up +4 bps from yesterday at this time.The price of gold will start today at US$3,337/oz, down -US$10 from yesterday.American oil prices have risen +US$1 to just under US$63.50/bbl with the international Brent price up +US$1 to just over US$67.50/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is at just on 58.2 USc and down -10 bps from yesterday. Against the Aussie we have held at 90.6 AUc. Against the euro we are up +10 bps at 50.1 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 66.2, and up +10 bps helped by a gain against the yen.The bitcoin price starts today at US$114,270 and essentially unchanged from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just under +/-1.1%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again on Monday.

So what does 2024 ESOO have to say for itself? Everything is now terrific, reliability wise! OR IS IT??!! This year's ESOO leads with the good news picture but *warning* we still need to read carefully and while some big projects have been approved (oh hi HumeLink!), we should be feeling the urgency of Getting Stuff Done. And that stuff MUST include energy performance retrofits of millions of Australian homes! Shout out Climateworks on their latest report, Enabling Australia's home renovation wave, which has some great suggestions on that front.Our main paperYour intrepid hosts break down being down on emissions breaks with the hot new Science paper causing all the commotion in climate circles. Climate policies that achieved major emission reductions: Global evidence from two decades from Annika Stechemesser and collaborators, mainly from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, has more hot takes and fake takes than you can poke a stick at!  Listen on to hear ours - flaws we did find, it's not all bad though - but also don't just trust us! We reference some fantastic analysis of the paper from Emil Dimanchev which is well worth your time. Also, if Euler diagrams are your jam then this paper is for YOU.One more thingsTennant's One More Thing is: the decision by Korea's highest court to require the legislature to put forward 2030-50 interim climate targets PLUS a Brian Deese article in Foreign Affairs calling for a clean energy Marshall Plan.Frankie's One More Thing is: a note on some worrying signs of breaks to commitments towards net zero housing and future changes to the National Construction Code after the SA government pressed pause on further changes for the next ten years.Luke's One More Thing is: This article from Currently Speaking (and the associated impromptu reading list). And that's all from us Summerupperers!

He is a writer, a comedian, a broadcaster, a wager of Wars on Waste and a general in the Fight for Planet A, Craig Reucassel! And the reinforcements are warranted as we launch into an extended opening segment focused on AEMO's 2024 Integrated System Plan. This discussion ranged across delights such as the big Consumer Energy Resources rebrand (and what's changed other than the name), why gas peaking capacity is like insurance (Tennant tells all) and the zero carbon tech we can turn to to deal with dunkelflaute in the long term (probably not batteries, and definitely not nuclear)! Our main paperWe also reached a tipping point on the concept of tipping points dear Summerupperers and took one for the collective team by diving into the latest offering from the University of Exeter's Global Systems Institute, the 2023 Global Tipping Points report. We had a look at the summary report (lots of things to worry about in there) and then did a deep dive on section four, Positive tipping points in technology, economy and society. TL;DR: ‘tipping points' may be a tad overused as a concept here but perhaps there are one or two areas in which we can leverage learning rates and catalyse some social contagion to replicate the success experienced by solar and wind.One more thingsTennant's One More Thing is an anecdote regarding a query he put to Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen at a recent forum at Parliament House. Politicians are known to duck questions from time to time, but at least the Minister's podcast themed parry gets points for novelty.Craig's One More Thing is his keen interest in ensuring costings for prospective nuclear plants factor in the expense of the continued use of aging, emissions intensive coal fired power stations while we wait for nuclear to come online. The man has a point!Frankie's One More Thing is a plug for friend of the pod, Tim Forcey, who's just published a book!

We're meant to be transitioning to a greener future and getting rid of gas for good.But now we're talking about drilling for more of it, or importing supplies, because soon we might not have enough to keep the lights and heaters on. How can that be when Australia is one of the world's biggest gas exporters?Today, energy reporter Dan Mercer explains how we've ended up here. Featured: Daniel Mercer, ABC energy reporter

The Australian Energy Market Operator has published its annual Gas Statement of Opportunities report. The report forecasts difficult times ahead for Australia's east coast gas market, with a risk of shortfalls on peak demand days in 2025 and seasonal supply gaps from 2026. So, is Australia running out of gas? At the household level, people are concerned about keeping the heater going and the cooktop on. In the bigger picture, governments and industry are grappling with a complex change from fossil fuels to renewable energy. In this new Grattan Podcast, host Kat Clay talks to our energy expert Alison Reeve about whether Australia can expect gas shortfalls in the future, and where the responsibility lies for avoiding – or at least managing – these potential outages.

This week, host Dr. I. David Daniels will speak with Brandi Hunter founder of Aspiring Emergency Managers Online. Breaking into a new profession is often challenging for those lacking resources and support networks. This is especially true in a profession like emergency management where the networks are limited in terms of access. However, how does one help aspiring professionals in this industry while simultaneously overcoming significant physical challenges of your own? Ms. Hunter will share her experience as an emergency manager, mom, cancer survivor, and, most recently, an amputee. She'll discuss how, despite her own challenges, she remains focused on not only inspiring new and upcoming emergency managers while continuing to expand how the profession meets the needs of all of the communities that they serve.
