Our Energy Future
The UNSW Tyree Energy Technologies Building (TETB) accommodates and showcases state-of-the-art and leading edge research in clean energy including photovoltaics, carbon capture and storage. The building houses the Australian Energy Research Institute, a sustainable energy think tank that focuses on transforming energy research into practical applications. The Institute builds upon 30 years of energy research leadership at UNSW. The TETB Project is an initiative of the Australian Government conducted as part of the Education Investment Fund, and has received Government funding of $75 million. The building is named after Sir William Tyree, a UNSW alumnus, successful innovator and businessman, and a major philanthropic supporter of Australian engineering and educational research. Sir William has generously donated $1 million towards the new centre and pledged a further bequest of $10 million. Situated on the corner of Anzac Parade and the University Mall, the TETB provides a gateway to the Faculty of Engineering, the Lower Campus, and the University as a whole.
