Beyond Zero Emissions Discussion Group

Dr Alex Wonhas joined CSIRO directly from McKinsey & Company where he
was one of the co-authors of McKinsey’s Carbon Abatement Cost Curve
for Australia. He took up the role as CSIRO Energy Transformed
Flagship Director in August 2009. The Flagship aims to lower
greenhouse gas emissions by providing sustainable, efficient,
cost-effective energy solutions. Dr Wonhas will present an overview of
his work including:

Australia's first Zero Emissions House (Aus ZEH),
Energy efficiency for commercial buildings,
Web-based smart metering system,
Ultra batteries (super capacitor + lead acid battery hybrid),
Distributed energy systems (using microturbines, PV, wind, demand
management, etc),
Solar Brayton Cycle demonstration system.

Come prepared with lots of questions as it is rare that we have a
guest speaker with the breadth of knowledge as Dr Wonhas. He will
appear via Skype video link.
