Australia is advancing its clean energy initiatives with the development of a second solar garden, known as Sydney Solar. This project aims to produce 1.7 megawatts of power, enough to supply energy to 170 homes, while incorporating artificial photosynthesis technology. The initiative is part of a broader effort to challenge the dominance of coal and hydrogen in the energy sector. With government support of $340,000, the solar garden will enhance accessibility to renewable energy for those unable to install rooftop panels. Australia's commitment to solar energy is evident as it plans to install 1.9 million solar panels annually by 2026, marking a significant step towards a sustainable energy future.
