The power of one
As coal-fired power stations are progressively retired and Australia grapples with its transition to renewable energy production, UNE alumnus Andrew McConville is charting a slightly different path forward.
He sees our nation's rich reserves of oil and gas, particularly gas, as central to both our nation's post-COVID recovery and the large-scale uptake of renewables.
The chief executive officer of the Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association (APPEA) graduated from UNE in 1991 with a Bachelor of Agricultural Economics (with first class honours). During the past tumultuous 18 months he has emerged as an effective advocate for his industry, capable of separating the "noise from the sentiment". |
