Renewable Energy, 2014, vol. 66, issue C, 62-68

Abstract: This paper focuses on the calculation of the carbon footprint of a typical West Australian mine site village and the ways by which it can be reduced to a point where the village can be legitimately described as ‘carbon neutral’. The study contributes to a broader ARC joint research program by Murdoch and Curtin Universities entitled ‘Decarbonising Cities and Regions’.
