Podcast appearances and mentions of craig memery

This week your intrepid hosts braved some interstate travel craziness (the things we do for you) and came together IN 3D REAL LIFE AND EVERYTHING to bring you this pod from Wurundjeri land.We have been loving the energy twitterati folks having at our ISP episode and in response to our follow up question “what would you want to see in a supercharged ISP?” we received plenty of excellent fodder from friends of the pod Emma, Tom Quinn, Craig Memery and more! A no-surprises tech scenario, a supercharged electrification/green hydrogen one as well as the fraught question of a just transition and how all this necessary infrastructure is to be paid for. Gulp.Our truly hipster choice for this week's pod was to eschew the boringly mainstream Victorian Gas Substitution Roadmap and instead dive into one of the reports that fed into it… Infrastructure Victoria's report ‘Towards 2050: Gas Infrastructure in a Net Zero Emissions Economy'. Thank you to dear friend of the pod, Rob Murray-Leach for recommending the 190-page-report-disguised-as-half-that-size

In Episode 8 of First Fuel, Energy Efficiency Council CEO Luke Menzel is joined by Craig Memery from the Public Interest Advocacy Centre and the Council's own Head of Policy Rob Murray-Leach. Luke, Craig and Rob discuss the final determination on the Wholesale Demand Response Mechanism announced by the Australian Energy Market Commission last week, the history of this rule change, and what it will mean for the market and consumers.

Nearly two decades after it was first proposed, demand response is to finally become a part of Australia’s electricity market. Craig Memery, from PIAC explains. Plus: Queensland finally delivers.

Australia needs to decarbonise its energy supply to meet its international commitments on greenhouse gas emissions. Electricity from wind and solar can help – but how do we reduce emissions from the gas we use to warm our homes, heat water and cook dinner? The COAG Energy Council has set up a taskforce to examine the role of hydrogen in Australia’s energy system. Hydrogen can be produced from zero-emissions sources, and can be mixed in with natural gas in pipelines today. Over time, the gas network could switch to 100 per cent hydrogen, potentially delivering abundant emissions-free energy to households and businesses. In this Forward Thinking event Alison Reeve from the COAG Hydrogen Taskforce, Peter Harcus from Jemena Gas Networks and Craig Memery from the Public Interest Advocacy Centre joined Grattan’s Tony Wood to discuss whether hydrogen will become a key part of Australia’s energy supply.

Beyond Zero talks to Craig Memery about residential gas customers and research comparing cost of gas use with electricity use over a ten year time frame.

Craig Memery, Energy Specialist and Consumer Advocate at the Alternative Technology Association (ATA), will present findings of their new report, Are We Still Cooking with Gas?
