Episode notes
Workers Clustered Where Emissions Are
- Australia must prepare for job transitions in clustered fossil-fuel regions via targeted green industry placement.
- The Net Zero Economy Authority and industrial hubs can focus new green industries where affected workers are based.
V2G Needs A Full Ecosystem Trial
- AGL's V2G trial brings multiple OEMs, networks and charger makers together to test ecosystem interoperability.
- Car-maker warranty agreements were pivotal to enabling customer participation.
Simplify Connections To Scale V2G
- Simplify the patchwork of technical and regulatory connections so V2G can scale beyond early adopters.
- Use trials to learn and standardise approaches across networks, chargers and car makers.
