摘要
Australia and New Zealand have markedly different energy mixes. In Australia over 90% of electricity is generated from non-renewable energy sources, predominantly coal. In contrast, New Zealand uses little fossil fuel and the main power generation is provided by hydro with a significant contribution from geothermal resources. This paper presents a brief history and description of the different types of fuel powered plant in use in these two countries, identifies some of the local life cycle issues and discusses research and development and management plans associated with these local renewable and fossil fuelled plant. Additionally brief case histories for the three major plant types are presented and future options in power generation are considered.
