A Decarb Hub has been formed in Queensland to bring together research experts, government, industry, and communities to help meet the state’s climate targets to boost renewable energy sources and achieve net zero by 2050.
The Queensland Decarbonisation Hub was officially launched on April 17 by Minister for Climate and Clean Economy Jobs, the Hon. Mick de Brenni and Queensland Chief Scientist and Steering Committee Chair Professor Kerrie Wilson.
Funded by the Queensland Government, the Hub brings together 7 universities to drive research and innovation efforts to meet targets in the Queensland Climate Action Plan.
Hub Coordinator, Professor Greg Marston from The University of Queensland, said the collaborative approach would bring together industry, communities and traditional owners to share knowledge and perspectives to support the state’s transition.
