Demonstrating the power of renewables in Antarctica
SPEC is the latest effort by the 2041organisation to boost renewables. In 1984, Swan set up 2041, to protect the Antarctic through promotion of recycling, renewable energy and sustainability. The Antarctic Treaty was first implemented in 1961 to ensure that the Antarctic was only used for peaceful purposes, and scientific discovery.

Antarctica is the coldest, darkest, and least populated of the seven continents on Earth. The Antarctic continent covers 13.8 million km 2, a surface area of land 50% larger than the United States.More than 99% of this land is covered by glacial ice which can be up to 4000 m thick.High on the inland plateau, mean annual temperature is about −50 °C, and Vostok

Renewable energy
Transporting fuel and oil to Antarctica is a costly and sometimes risky exercise. Before the introduction of renewable energy systems, Australian stations required 2.1 megalitres of diesel fuel every year for power and heating. Burning this fuel emitted around 5,500 tonnes of carbon dioxide into the Antarctic environment.

Dr Stone said the Antarctic wind turbine project cost approximately $6.5 million. The Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000 establishes the rules for creating renewable certificates. It states, among other things, that each REC must have its own unique code and be registered by the Renewable Energy Regulator before they are considered valid.
