Achieving Net-Zero Energy Emissions in the Healthcare Sector: A Case Study of an Australian Major Modern Hospital

This study presents an economic analysis of real options for achieving net-zero energy emissions in a major modern hospital in Australia. Twelve scenarios were analysed, involving green power purchase, carbon credit markets, and electrification. We find that incorporating green power purchase could effectively reduce operational costs. The results support decision-making and have significant policy implications for advancing the healthcare sector toward a more sustainable future.
