Energy Transition >>
Service Background >>
Australia’s energy transition is underway, yet questions remain over the technologies that will drive large-scale decarbonisation, and when they may be adopted.
RepuTex’s Energy Transition service combines our leading carbon-market and technology modelling to help organisations understand the forces shaping Australia’s low-carbon transition – and the timing of sector shifts. Key intelligence includes:
- Marginal Abatement Cost (MAC) Curves – Sectoral MAC curves by region to 2050 and in-house long-run marginal cost (LRMC) of ACCU supply across all methods
-
Decarbonisation Investment Tracker – Track current investment in industrial decarbonisation technologies by region, sector, company, and technology
-
Technology Scorecard – Technology ranking by cost, barriers, and readiness, indexed by our proprietary Decarbonisation Score
-
Technology Explorer – Technology abatement potential and forecast uptake to 2050, with scenario overlays
Did you know: RepuTex emissions and abatement modeling supports DCCEEW’s annual emissions projections for the Mining, Metals, Oil & Gas, Transport, and Land sectors, including sectoral decarbonisation pathways.
Marginal Abatement Cost (MAC) Curves >>
Our Marginal Abatement Cost (MAC) curves show the cost and emissions reduction potential of industrial decarbonisation technologies through to 2050, ranked by cost-effectiveness.
What our MAC curves provide:
- Sectoral MAC curves by region to 2050 – View technology costs at the regional level, accounting for local input costs, availability constraints, and non-financial barriers (technical, environmental, commercial, etc.)
- In-house LRMC of ACCU supply – Long-run marginal cost of Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) supply across all methods
- Technology-level detail – Breakdown by specific decarbonisation technologies and activities within each sector
- Time-varying costs – Technology costs from 2025 to 2050 as learning curves and infrastructure deployment drive cost reductions
- Interactive data tools – Explore MAC curves through our interactive tools, with multi-year and single-year views, and filters to view information by sector, technology and commercial readiness, and region.
Decarbonisation Investment Tracker >>
RepuTex’s Decarbonisation Investment Tracker provides visibility into current investment in industrial decarbonisation technologies across Australia.
Deep dive into investment trends across key industries and technologies, including electrified transport, carbon capture and storage (CCS), renewable energy, emerging green industries (hydrogen, green metals, critical minerals), and industrial decarbonisation technologies. Align current investment trends with our forecasts for technology potential, and uptake, highlighting the remaining opportunity relative to scenario expectations.
What the Investment Tracker covers:
- Committed investment by sector group – Track decarbonisation project investment pipeline by region, sector, company, and technology
- Investment by technology – View decarbonisation investment broken down by technology type
- Investment by region – See which states and regions are leading decarbonisation investment
- Interactive filtering – View metric options for committed investment, switch between technology groups, and show full data in chart, graph, or table format
Technology Scorecard and Explorer >>
Our Technology Scorecard and Explorer work together as a single analytical framework for evaluating and forecasting decarbonisation technology deployment across Australia’s industrial sectors.
Our Technology Scorecard ranks technologies by our proprietary Decarbonisation Score – combining cost-effectiveness, technical and commercial readiness, implementation barriers, and abatement potential – to help companies identify which technologies to prioritise today versus tomorrow.
The Explorer then shows how these technologies scale to 2050 under different climate scenarios, revealing when emerging technologies become viable and how uptake patterns vary across sectors and policy pathways.
Key features:
- Technology rankings – Decarbonisation Score indexed by marginal abatement cost ($/tCO₂-e), technology readiness level (TRL), commercial readiness level (CRL), and barriers to uptake
- Readiness assessment – Technology maturity levels (Mature, Emerging, Not Fully Mature) with ease of implementation ratings and forecast uptake years
- Abatement forecasts – Technology deployment rates and emissions reduction potential to 2050 by sector, with scenario overlays showing how uptake accelerates or delays under different carbon price pathways
- Interactive exploration – Filter and compare technologies by sector, region, and scenario through our platform’s database tools
Use cases: Prioritise abatement investments, benchmark technology deployment against peers, model net-zero pathways, and stress-test technology strategies under different climate futures.
Sector Net-Zero Pathways >>
Our sector pathways show emissions trajectories and technology transitions for key Australian industries under different climate scenarios.
What our sector pathways provide:
- Sector pathways – Technology uptake by sector across scenarios (part of Climate Scenarios service)
- Emissions trajectories – Forecast emissions by sector aligned to climate scenarios
- Technology transition modeling – Which technologies are adopted in each sector under different pathways
