Energy Futures

We have been at the forefront of energy research and innovation for over two decades – both in policy debates and on the ground.

We have been assisting organisations assess and transition towards a cleaner more equitable energy future.

Our research provides the relevant social, economic and technical analysis to support international government organisations, national and state governments, local communities and civil society organisations to implement a just energy transition based on renewable energy.

The ISF team provides tailor-made research in renewable energy, energy efficiency and consumer energy resources with the aim to decarbonise the energy sector.

Our researchers have extensive experience in:

• global, regional and country-level energy scenario modelling
• employment modelling and skills studies to facilitate a just transition
• developing visualisation tools to map energy opportunities
• policy research for Federal, state and local governments, communities, councils and industry
• the uptake and implications of consumer energy resources such as electric vehicles, rooftop solar, hot water and battery storage
• increasing energy fairness for disadvantaged social groups such as public housing tenants and First Nations peoples.
