My aim is to ensure that you can rely on Climate Spectator for the most insightful analysis and information on carbon markets, technology and government policy developments:  This will naturally have a slant towards what’s happening in Australia, but the carbon market and clean energy technology sectors are shaped by global events. Consequently, we will constantly monitor and interpret developments from overseas which have implications for domestic businesses and policymakers. The website will continue to provide news and analysis on the supply, demand and price for renewable energy technologies, carbon capture and storage (CCS) and also nuclear. In addition, we’ll keep a watch on some of the advances occurring with electrification of motor vehicles and overall fuel efficiency. Some areas we’ll keep a close watch on in the Australian context are the market for renewable energy under the Renewable Energy Target scheme, feed-in tariffs, the various assorted grant funding schemes – such as CCS Flagships and the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) – and the Clean Energy Finance Corporation.
