Leaders of renewable energy and waste minimisation technologies in Australia
|
Melbourne is leading the uptake of renewable energy and waste minimisation technologies in Australia. Predicted growth areas include:
|
- renewable energy technologies
- greenhouse gas abatement
- waste minimisation
- treatment and reuse technologies
- enviro-consultancy
- scientific and monitoring instrumentation
|
