raig Froome writes on The Conversation about the Clean Energy Finance Corporation.

The Clean Energy Program Manager at The University of Queensland’s Global Change Institute, said: “In defending the federal government’s decision to bar the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) from investing in wind and small-scale solar power, environment minister Greg Hunt explained to ABC Radio what he sees as the future direction for the CEFC. He said that the funding was to focus on projects that were “not mature and not commercial”, identifying three main areas as worthy recipients of investment:

-      large-scale solar, including new solar thermal technologies;

-      emerging technologies such as wave energy;

-      measures to improve energy efficiency.
