The Kettering-based Net Zero Channel (NZC) has been selected as one of the 10 community groups to partner with Rewiring Australia out of 75 applicants.
The groups collaborated in an eight-week program that included workshops, training materials, resources and knowledge sharing.
The program aims to support new or existing community groups who want to help their community transition from fossil fuel powered appliances and cars to efficient electric vehicles and tools that run on renewable energy.
NZC is a volunteer-led organisation focused on helping the community take cost-effective and achievable actions to achieve the lowest carbon and environmental footprint.
As part of the project, NZC will conduct a comprehensive survey of the local community to establish what people think and how they feel about engaging with climate change mitigation at a local level.
They will launch the ‘Emissions Impossible’ project that will reach out to local schools to engage students with the challenge of designing the home of the future.
They will also revisit the successful Electricana event from August 2022.
During Electricana, NZC organised more than 300 test drives of electric vehicles for interested community members.
This time, Electricana will feature electric power tools and bikes as well.
Rewiring Australia is a non-profit organisation co-founded by Dr Saul Griffith and Dan Cass and uses research, advocacy and deployment to find climate and cost-of-living solutions through electrification.
