Electrification – the switch to electrical appliances and transportation, powered by clean renewable energy – is an exciting movement with a range of positive beneficial outcomes. On this page, we take a look at what’s behind this philosophy, and check out the different ways you can apply Electrification principles to your own home or business. Whether you’re interested in achieving a more sustainable energy solution, looking to optimise energy usage, or seeking energy independence, Electrification is a topic well worth exploring. Let’s go!
What is Electrification?
Electrification is the process of using clean, renewable electricity to power electrical appliances, machines and transportation.
Electrification is a move away from fossil fuelled power sources.
Reasons for Electrification
Australia has a goal to reach Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. [SRC: dcceew.gov.au] About 90 per cent of the world’s carbon emissions come from the burning of fossil fuels – mainly for electricity, heat and transport. [SRC: csiro.au] Electrification has the goal to reduce these emissions by replacing fossil fuelled energy sources with clean, renewable energy.
