Accelerating Decarbonisation Through Industry Hubs: Lessons from Europe’s Experience
The transition to a net-zero and circular economy presents a significant challenge for energy-intensive industries worldwide. This public lecture, Accelerating Decarbonisation Through Industry Hubs: Lessons from Europe’s Experience, explores how European industrial hubs have navigated the shift toward sustainability and reduced emissions in sectors such as steel, cement, chemicals, and aluminium. Drawing on comprehensive research, policy evaluations, and industry case studies, the session will provide critical insights into the effectiveness of various decarbonisation approaches and their implications for South Australia’s industrial future.
Building a critical mass of people and knowlege in critically important minerals
The Critical Mineral Research Centre is the go-to group for multidisciplinary research programs. It is the only one of its kind in Australia, and one of only a few worldwide. We cover end-to-end critical minerals research and education, from early prospectivity analyses to resource definition to mineral processing.
Heavy industry low-carbon transition (HILT) CRC
For Australia’s heavy industry sector to not only survive, but thrive over the coming decades with improved technological capabilities and cost competitiveness. HILT CRC will enable our heavy industry sector to compete in the low-carbon global economy for carbon-neutral materials such as ‘green’ iron, alumina, cement and other processed minerals. HILT CRC will focus on developing technologies and methods that overcome barriers to the low-carbon transition, which include the unacceptable risks of untested innovations that could jeopardise equipment, production and/or worker safety. The University of Adelaide is a core partner of the CRC.
