New article in ‘Sustainable Production and Consumption’
Thomas Elliot and his supervisors Prof Sarah J McLaren and Prof Ralph Sims have published an article in Sustainable Production and Consumption.

This was largely due to the approximately 80% share of renewable electricity generation in New Zealand.
