Supporting the energy and resources sector in Australia
We can help you operate safely and reliably, plan strategically, and boost productivity.
Through our services, research and partnerships, you can access trusted expertise in:
- weather and climate
- marine and water
- space weather.
Weather drives energy demand, fuels renewable generation and influences the network
Energy and renewables
Australia's energy system is evolving to be more dependent on weather. We can support your operations to:
- plan effectively
- manage risks and respond to incidents
- participate efficiently in energy markets.
We're also developing solutions to meet sector-wide challenges. These efforts target resilience, security, reliability, sustainability and affordability.
We work with organisations across the sector to support smooth and fast transition.
Mining
Mining operations are highly exposed to weather and climate risks. This includes:
- tropical cyclones
- severe weather events
- flooding and heavy rainfall
- temperature sensitivities
- dust management.
Effective risk management is critical across the mining lifecycle. This includes during exploration, construction, production, and decommissioning. We can help you anticipate, manage and mitigate risks at every stage.
Support your transition to a sustainable future through decarbonisation services, including:
- climate risk assessments
- renewable energy planning and operational management
- forecasting for renewable energy.
By combining climate risk solutions with practical decarbonisation strategies, we help you build resilient, compliant, future-ready operations.
