Beyond Zero Emissions is an Australian climate change solutions think-tank, working with academics and in particular the University of Melbourne Energy Institute. It releases detailed information on solutions, to help enable informed debate on solutions to climate change, and to demonstrate that a zero emission economy is achievable and affordable.
"Zero Carbon Australia Stationary Energy Plan"
The organization gained attention with its report, the Zero Carbon Australia Stationary Energy Plan, which describes a way to "decarbonise" Australia in 10 years, achieving zero greenhouse gas emissions from electricity (stationary energy) and transport. The report calculated the cost of the plan at an average of $8 per person per week, for 10 years.[verification needed]
The plan does not include any nuclear power.
This report won the 2010 Mercedes-Benz Banksia award for Australian Environmental research.
The report was developed on a wiki (MediaWiki site).
