Energy documentary premieres at UQ

The University of Queensland will host a screening of Switch, a documentary aimed at building a balanced national understanding of energy, from solar to coal, biofuels to oil.

As part of the Switch Energy Project, energy expert Dr Scott Tinker gives a view of the world’s leading energy sites to discover how countries will shift from coal and oil to the energies of tomorrow.

UQ Energy Initiative Director Professor Chris Greig said the event on Monday 11 March would provide answers to today’s important energy questions.

“Dr Tinker manages to give a straightforward explanation of our energy future that is insightful and refreshingly honest,” he said.

“The UQ community is excited by this opportunity as it has many research and study projects under way.”

“UQ welcomes any opportunity to raise awareness in relation to energy security and sustainability,” Professor Greig said.

Those interested in attending the free screening at UQ’s Sir Llew Edwards Auditorium at 6:30pm on Monday 11 March should register with c.deeming@uq.edu.au.
