Renewable energy resource assessment City of Onkaparinga

In Australia the energy supplied by the stationary energy sector is mainly generated from non renewable sources such as coal, oil, petroleum fuels, natural gas or LPG(AGO 2006). In order to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions there needs to be a significant focus on adopting alternative renewable sources of energy. Targets for renewable energy are being set internationally, nationally and at state level which in turn requires local governments and their communities to consider their potential to reduce their GHG emissions through energy efficiency and increased use of energy from renewable sources.
