In the interview, Frishknecht explains the CleanTech sector from an investment perspective, detailing the regulatory change that is needed to address the problems with peak electricity times.

Wave power and geothermal energy are also discussed as an improving and growing opportunity for Australia.

Frishknecht ends the interview by mentioning prospects for the CleanTech sector in Australia, explaining the huge renewable resource that is not being taken advantage of, including sun, wave and geothermal power:

“There are a lot of good things happening in the energy management sector, around both smart meters and peak load management, but clearly we will need, and will get, some sort of carbon regulatory framework.”

Bio-Gill is an advanced waste water system, developed by the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) in 2007. Bio-Gill was formed when ANSTO secured an agreement with the Australian Government to commercialise the advanced technology.

West defines Bio-Gill technology as “above ground bio-reactors”. He explains that there is a world wide market and practically “no limitations” to the applications of this type of technology.

West also references the main areas of demand for Bio-Gill, including industrial waste, sewage, breweries, wineries and dairies, as well as island resorts, where water waste management is essential.

The interview also explores the economic drivers for the technology. West highlights that Australia has beneficial regulations, where the government is encouraging this type of innovation and implementation. “We are filling a void” for people that are trying to do the right thing.

Zimmerman explains that BuildingIQ is a software company that deploys technology to optimise energy use in commercial buildings. He explains that ” at the end of the day we are trying to reduce energy consumption and cost for building owners and building managers.”

In the interview Zimmerman details Australia’s sophistication as a global market economy in terms of building energy management. He explains that Australia is the first place to deploy the company’s product. The results in Australia will then be utilised to promote and produce BuildingIQ’s product in the U.S.

Zimmerman ends by detailing how the company is bringing its “software service business model” to the property industry.

He concludes that “if you don’t have capital, or the resources to help proactively manage energy, it is absolutely ideal” for property and business owners.

In the lead-up to the event, CTTV’s Green Business Reporter, Giles Parkinson spoke to Bob Dixon, the Sr. Vice President, Global Head of Efficiency and Sustainability of Siemens. Dixon, who is also a guest speaker at the forum, comments on the new technologies being considered for the future, identifying the industry’s current climate as “the best of times.” The interview explores the newest trends in solar and wind technologies that are being developed and utilised in the “integral designs of contemporary buildings.”

Dixon draws attention to the idea of energy security, i.e the dependability that governments and companies have on energy storage, highlighting Australia’s recent natural disasters as an example.

“Buildings consume 40% of the world’s energy and contribute to 21% of the world’s greenhouse gasses,” Dixson stresses. He acknowledges the great economical opportunities currently available and believes we have the potential “to make an impact now.”

Bob Dixon will be speaking in Sydney about new technologies which can be employed into existing buildings. Some of these technologies include solar, wind, energy storage and onsite generation, and are ultimately, environmentally sustainable and efficient.
