I am an Environmental Engineer with over 20 years’ experience delivering $100M+ in renewables and energy projects. As the Author and Researcher of "The Post Fossil Fuel Era", I combine my engineering expertise with a deep investigation into the next frontier of energy—exploring decentralised power, hydrogen innovation, and the intersection of conventional and emerging technologies. I hold a Master’s in Environmental Engineering and have served as a Presenter and Industry Expert at Griffith University, advising international government delegations on solar, energy storage, and net-zero transition. As Program Manager for ACES – Advancing Clean Energy Schools with Ecosave and the Queensland Department of Education, I led one of the state’s largest renewable initiatives, delivering 275 solar PV systems and 8,600+ efficiency measures across 254 schools—saving $5.4M annually and reducing emissions equal to 3,321 cars.

Recent events have brought to the surface how vulnerable Australia is to energy shortages with only 30 days of stockpiled oil reserves. Within the context of these tentative times, it is important that we re-explore alternative options. Scott Witheridge is an Environmental Engineer and Author of the book "The Post Fossil Fuel Era". The book is a deep investigation into the next frontier of energy—exploring decentralised power, hydrogen innovation, and the intersection of conventional and emerging technologies. In this interview, Scott discusses the possibilities of abundant, perpetual and non-conventional energy.
