WA will fail to achieve net-zero by 2050, Woodside report warns
By Cason Ho
Woodside-commissioned modelling suggests WA is not on track to reach net zero by 2050, even if its massive Browse gas project proceeds, unless renewable energy is rolled out at unprecedented speed.

TB/cm² at zero retention energy – atomic-scale memory on fluorographane

The memory wall -- the widening gap between processor throughput and memory bandwidth -- has become the defining hardware constraint of the artificial intelligence era, now compounded by a structural NAND flash supply crisis driven by AI demand. We propose a post-transistor, pre-quantum memory architecture built on single-layer fluorographane (CF), in which the bistable covalent orientation of each fluorine atom relative to the sp3-hybridized carbon scaffold constitutes an intrinsic, radiation-hard binary degree of freedom. The C-F inversion barrier of ~4.6 eV (B3LYP-D3BJ/def2-TZVP, this work; verified transition state with one imaginary frequency; confirmed at 4.8 eV by DLPNO-CCSD(T)/def2-TZVP; rigorous lower bound from the fluorophenalane molecular model) yields a thermal bit-flip rate of ~10^{-65} s^{-1} and a quantum tunneling rate of ~10^{-76} s^{-1} at 300 K, simultaneously eliminating both spontaneous bit-loss mechanisms. The barrier lies below the C-F bond dissociation energy (5.6 eV) at both levels of theory, so the covalent bond remains intact throughout the inversion. A single 1 cm^2 sheet encodes 447 TB of non-volatile information at zero retention energy. Volumetric nanotape architectures extend this to 0.4-9 ZB/cm^3. We present a tiered read-write architecture progressing from scanning-probe validation (Tier 1, achievable with existing instrumentation) through near-field mid-infrared arrays (Tier 2) to a dual-face parallel configuration governed by a central controller, with a projected aggregate throughput of 25 PB/s at full Tier 2 array scale. A scanning-probe prototype already constitutes a functional non-volatile memory device with areal density exceeding all existing technologies by more than five orders of magnitude.
