Thank you for your insightful post, it is very much in line with my own thinking, jmur.
Just on ARENA funding, it goes much further than just receiving grants. There is much more that Hazer will gain if ARENA accepts them into the fold.
"We share knowledge, insights and data from our funded projects to help the renewable energy industry and other projects learn from each other’s experiences.
Knowledge sharing is a vital part of our role. All ARENA-funded activities include sharing knowledge through reports, publications, guides, models and resources, forums, workshops, conferences, site visits, website, content media and social media.
ARENA funds knowledge sharing activities through our Advancing Renewables Program. These activities are focused on creating, collecting, analysing, storing, using or sharing knowledge. As well as building knowledge, these activities can also build networks that strengthen industry capacity, collaborations and partnerships.
We share knowledge on our website. You can search through reports, resources, guides and models to find in-depth knowledge. And you can see this knowledge sharing come to life on our blog ARENAWIRE.
