HILT CRC is announced
Australia's leading companies in the heavy industrial sector will embark on a program that will enable a step-change in the rate at which they transition toward zero net-carbon emissions through the Heavy Industry Low-carbon Transition Cooperative Research Centre (HILT CRC)
Findings from the HiTeMP-2 Outlook Report
Heavy industry is vital to our economy, but it contributes to the planet’s climate challenge, which is why transitioning the sector to net-zero carbon emissions is so important. Decarbonising heavy industry will be good for the global economy, because it is being driven by new markets for higher value new green products.
Pathways clear for decarbonising heavy industry
The production of green steel will be a critical step to enable the world’s heavy industry to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and Australia is well placed to be an important player in this space.

Add hydrogen combustion to a solar reactor for carbon-free mining and mineral processing
Researchers at the University of Adelaide's Centre for Energy Technology have developed a Solar Hybrid Receiver Combustor (HSRC) that can be used around the clock by industry, due to its ability to use a mix of heat sources; solar radiation from a heliostat field and combustion of renewable fuels.
