The Eyes of the World Turning to Wollongong
04/05/04
Few issues are more critical to efficiencies in the mining sector than Bulk Handling.
With a wide range of materials needing to be loaded, transported and unloaded there are infinite opportunities for new initiatives to improve the speed, safety and cost effectiveness of these large scale operations.
Cutting-edge research and development work is developing products and processes that reduce wear, improve emission levels, facilitate smoother flow through feeders and prevent dangers such as combustible dust explosions. |

Australia's Energy Future - Part 2
24/06/04
Welcome to Part 2 of our indepth look in to the future of Australia's energy. Julian Cribb talks with two of the nation's leading energy scientists about Australia's energy future.
Another promising option is to generate clean electricity using hot rock geothermal power, the earth's natural nuclear heat-engine embodied in huge bodies of granite that poke up within the mantle, and are from 250-300 degrees Celsius. Australia has more of these resources than almost any country in the world, the main drawback being their location, in the Cooper Basin, remote from industrial centres. |

Solving Australia’s Energy Dilemma
14/07/04
Australia needs vast amounts of new, low-cost, clean energy to sustain growth. A new $15 million national research flagship program is setting out to create it.
By 2020 Australia must generate 50 percent more clean energy to support the 7 million new jobs and $350 billion in industrial output that will sustain national economic growth. Anything less, and the economy will falter. |
