On #WorldMetrologyDay learn how the National Measurement Institute, Australia is supporting the push towards cleaner energy sources 👇
Join us in celebrating #WorldMetrologyDay! National Measurement Institute, Australia (NMI) is supporting Australia’s push towards cleaner energy and a better planet. Innovations in electrification such as electric vehicles, grid-level renewables and new low-emission fuels like hydrogen are key to ensuring Australia meets its decarbonisation deadlines. #TowardsNetZero Our scientists are working on ways to reduce how much carbon we put into the atmosphere by making sure everything to do with energy is correctly calibrated, working efficiently and safely. With the rising popularity of electric cars, NMI is making sure that electricity dispensers are working correctly. This way, consumers can trust their vehicles are charged properly when using electric charging stations. Australia is also using more renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar. NMI is making sure these energy sources are being measured accurately. Which is important as we are using more of these power sources inside of our homes. This is helping to reduce Australia’s reliance on non-renewable energy sources such as coal. It’s not all about electricity as NMI is also looking at new fuels like hydrogen, which could be a big part of Australia’s resource future. Making sure hydrogen fuel is pure and safe so that it can be used safely in industry. NMI’s role is to make sure energy is measured right and can help in moving Australia closer towards a cleaner, greener future. Read more: bit.ly/WMD_Energy. #WorldMetrologyDay
