Australia is well placed in terms of natural resources for the green energy transition. We are already one of the world\u2019s largest exporters of lithium, in-demand for the production of batteries, primarily for electric vehicles. Alison Reeve, Energy and Climate Deputy Program Director at the Grattan Institute, joins Phil to talk about how Australia can gain maximum benefit from the drive for NetZero. Can we, for example, move up the renewables value chain, so we don\u2019t simply extract minerals and ship overseas. There\u2019s an enormous opportunity, says Alison, provided we recognise the strengths we provide and where in the chain we stop adding value. In this wide raging discussion they also look at the growth of sodium-ion batteries, hydrogen\u2019s place in Australia\u2019s future and the pitfalls of localised solar cell production.
