Welcome to the Energy Resource Information Centre (ERIC)
The Energy Resource Information Centre (ERIC) is an independent informational and analytical agency created to gather, analyze, and disseminate up-to-date data on Australia’s energy resources. We aim to provide honest, transparent, and comprehensive information about the extraction, export, and potential of both traditional and emerging energy sources to support decision-making at the governmental, business, and societal levels.
Our Mission
💡 To Inform: We provide reliable and updated data on Australia’s energy resources — oil, gas, coal, uranium, as well as low-carbon energy resources such as hydrogen, geothermal energy, and carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies.
🌱 To Support the Transition to Sustainable Energy: We analyze the availability of resources, their remaining potential, and how Australia can balance extraction with environmental sustainability.
📊 To Ensure Transparency and Reliability: We publish reports and data that allow all stakeholders — from governments to the general public — to understand Australia’s energy reality and future prospects.
🧑🤝🧑 To Facilitate Dialogue: We maintain open dialogue with experts, civil society, and businesses, providing access to information that is valuable for investment, policy-making, and education.
What We Analyze
We publish and analyze a wide range of data:
Traditional Energy Resources: Oil, natural gas, coal, and uranium. Our assessments are based on the latest research, including the Australia’s Energy Commodity Resources (AECR) report, which shows resource scales and extraction volumes. (ga.gov.au
)
Low-Carbon Energy Resources and Technologies: We examine the potential for geothermal energy, hydrogen production, and carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technologies. The AECR 2025 highlights Australia’s significant potential to become a global leader in clean energy.
Why ERIC is Important
ERIC is committed to supporting energy resource policy, investments, and environmental strategies. By providing clear and accurate data, we empower stakeholders to make informed decisions about Australia’s energy future.
Whether you are part of a government agency, business, or academic institution, ERIC ensures you have access to the most relevant and reliable energy resource data available. We are dedicated to contributing to Australia’s transition towards a cleaner, more sustainable energy landscape while addressing global energy challenges.
Get Involved
ERIC encourages collaboration and welcomes inquiries from government bodies, businesses, and the community. We provide the necessary tools for informed decision-making in energy resource development, sustainable energy adoption, and policy-making.
