GROWING up in Upper Lurg and Hamilton Park gave Tim Goodson a lifelong appreciation for nature, and passion for preserving the environment. “I have always had an interest in the environment, and how we can reduce the impact of our use of energy on the environment,” Tim said. “I think this interest comes from growing up in such a beautiful part of the world. “Growing up with this really makes one appreciate the beauty of nature and the value of reducing humanity’s footprint on the natural world. “I have also always appreciated the technical aspect of energy technologies, this interest began with the tinkering with projects in the shed at home.” It was from these humble beginnings, following studies in engineering and energy, that former Wangaratta High School student Tim now works for the International Energy Agency (IEA) in Paris. Much of his work focuses on the World Energy Outlook, and various energy scenarios and policy assumption for all fuels out to 2040. “My job involves following developments in the energy sector all over the world, from how technologies are changing, what new policies are being put in place, and how markets are evolving,” Tim explained. “I work most closely on developments for the buildings sector and electricity sector.
