As one of the world’s largest coal and natural gas producers, the global energy transition will have major impacts on Australia’s traditional workforce. By some estimates , the country will lose around 10 000 jobs in coal mines and at power plants by 2036. At the same time, Australia’s renewables sector has experienced significant growth in recent years, a trend that is expected to accelerate in coming years, which will present sizeable new job opportunities. Around 20 000 to 25 000 new jobs are predicted to be created in the country in the construction, maintenance and operation of renewable power. To avoid a labour shortage in the renewables sector, investments in skills training will be required. In response, wind energy company Vestas in 2022 opened the first renewable energy training tower at Federation University in Ballarat, Victoria. The tower is the first stage of the Asia Pacific Renewable Energy Training Centre (APRETC). Vestas, along with energy companies ACCIONA Energia, GPG and Tilt Renewables, invested AUD 1.8 million in APRETC, leveraging an AUD 50 000 investment by the government of Victoria. The opening of the tower will allow Federation University to begin offering Global Wind Organisation Standard Basic Safety Training and Basic Refresher Training this year. Over time, Federation expects to train more than 600 people annually, supplying the wind energy sector with a steady stream of qualified workers. In addition, by 2023, following an agreement with Germany’s BZEE Network, Federation will also offer the globally recognised post-trade turbine technician training course. The course is designed as a six-month intensive programme for electricians, mechanical fitters and automotive technicians and will include an internship with wind turbine manufacturers and service organisations that provides training on electrical, mechanical and hydraulic systems. Phase 2 of APRETC is currently in the planning stages, and is expected to offer specialised courses, such as for blade repair technicians, based on a new classroom, workshop and training equipment.

Oil Industry Braces for Years-Long Iran War

Oil producers, traders, and refiners are bracing for a prolonged war between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf with little to no hope of a quick resolution. By extension, they are also preparing for higher prices for longer, a theme present at this year’s edition of the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference. Reuters’ Clyde Russell reported this week that the mood at APPEC was not particularly cheerful as hostilities in the Middle East escalate once again, suggesting achieving peace would be quite a challenge. The Reuters columnist…

Stolen Electricity is Powering Illegal Crypto Farms Across the Globe

Electricity theft is a global problem, and it’s getting more dire all the time. While the problem is most common in developing countries, where grid infrastructure is limited and utilities and state authorities have lower oversight capacities, developed countries are not immune either. This theft can occur in many forms and at many scales, from individuals tapping into power lines to power their individual residences to large-scale and sophisticated theft schemes to power entire cryptocurrency mining farms. Just this week, Mexican authorities…

The Race to Solve Nuclear Energy’s Biggest Problem

Nuclear power is growing in popularity once again as governments worldwide look to diversify their energy mix and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Several countries are now looking to develop or expand their nuclear energy capacity over the coming decades. However, one challenge remains – nuclear waste. Disposing of waste materials from nuclear energy operations remains a complex task with no perfect solution. As countries worldwide have grown their nuclear power capacity, many governments are still struggling to decide on the best solution…

Iran’s Security Crackdown Runs Into Resistance From Within

Iran's parliament is trying to turn fears of foreign infiltration into law. But as lawmakers work through the legislation, the debate is exposing an increasingly awkward question for the Islamic Republic: How far should the state go in policing Iranians' contact with the outside world? At the center of that debate is Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who, at least publicly, is doing a balancing act. He has defended the need for tougher measures against foreign infiltration while warning that the current draft of the legislation goes too…

Why More Homes Are Switching From Gas to Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to gas-powered central heating systems and are increasingly being used in new construction, often driven by government incentives. A heat pump uses technology similar to that found in a refrigerator or an air conditioner, extracting heat from a source, such as the surrounding air, and amplifying and transferring the heat to where it is needed. As most of the heat is transferred rather than generated, heat pumps are far more efficient than conventional heating technologies such as boilers…
