Renewable and Sustainable Energy Webinar
A panel discussion on the technological (engineering) and societal (economic) aspects of the transition to renewable energy. Including how the transition will be driven by technological innovations, policy frameworks, market instruments and how in the process, scientists, policy makers, and corporations can seek to reduce social inequalities in energy access.
The panel discusses ways in which researchers at the University of Melbourne are informing both the Australian and broader international experience of the transition.

Environmental Economist and environmental regulation expert and Associate Professor Colin Scholes, Associate Professor in Chemical Engineering. Moderated by Professor David Byrne, a Professor of Economics with a focus on energy and resource markets, Deputy Director of the Centre for Market Design, and an affiliate of the Melbourne Energy Institute.
