In 2002, at just 22 years of age, Matthew Wright established Beyond Zero Emissions (BZE); a not-for-profit organisation offering climate change solutions to reduce emissions and promote a healthy environment.

As founder of BZE, Matthew enlisted the help of many community groups, councils and technical experts to help research and plan for a clean energy future.

In BZE’s current Zero Carbon Australia 2020 project, Matthew and a dedicated team are preparing and proposing transition plans for moving Australia to zero emissions within ten years.

Amongst many awards, in 2010 Matthew received the Federal Environment Minister’s Young Environmentalist of the Year and EcoGen’s Clean Energy Young Industry Leader Award.

Since establishing BZE, Matthew has significantly raised the profile of the organisation and noticed an increased response on the climate change message. He continues to dedicate every day to making the transition to a zero carbon future for Australia a reality.
