Roger Dargaville

Roger Dargaville is an Associate Professor at the Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Monash University. His work focuses on energy system integration, climate change mitigation, and renewable energy policy.

• Expertise: Renewable energy, energy systems, climate change, carbon emissions, global carbon life cycle science.
• Leadership: Leads a research group on energy-related topics including small-scale bioenergy projects, life cycle analysis, and transmission system optimization.

Research Interests:
Roger’s research spans energy storage (batteries, pumped hydro, liquid air), grid resilience under climate change, and international energy trade (e.g., renewable ammonia exports to Europe). He also explores policy barriers to renewable adoption and technology integration challenges.

Notable Projects:
• ARC Research Hub for Carbon Utilization and Recycling
• RACE for 2030 CRC (Reliable Affordable Clean Energy)
• Liquid Air Energy Storage with LNG Production

Scientific Contributions:
Roger has published extensively on low-carbon grid stability, renewable intermittency, and policy-driven energy systems. His 2024 Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews paper analyzes nuclear-renewable integration in India, while 2025 IEEE Transactions articles address fast frequency response in low-inertia grids.
