SUMMARY:ScaleUP WA: Innovations in Trade & Logistics
DESCRIPTION:INNOVATIONS IN TRADE & LOGISTICS \nFood and beverage value-add: a national growth industry.  \nValue-adding by transforming agricultural produce into consumer-packaged food is a key industry for Australia – one with tremendous growth potential. At present\, food and beverage value-adding is a major contributor to the Australian economy\, providing more than 247\,000 jobs and generating more than $29.1 billion in export value. \nAs global demand continues to rise for quality food and beverage\, fresh and packaged\, more businesses are adopting new technologies to get scale\, create and capture more value\, and position themselves to harvest for returns. Western Australia is well placed to be the epicentre of this burgeoning growth with a reputation for being clean and green. As well as strong international ties and innovations in freight and logistics. So\, how do we get to share in this value\, assess the best opportunities\, know who\, how\, and what markets to engage with where consumers are happy to pay a premium? \nKindly hosted by the City of Canning\, supported by industry partners\, this free event aims to highlight some of the challenges and considerations as well as opportunities and best practices for the agri-food and tech sector by bringing together innovative ventures\, subject matter experts\, leading practitioners\, and industry stakeholders to share insights and take questions. \nThis event includes catered networking and refreshments. Limited spots available\, registration is essential.

SUMMARY:Hydrogen as a Marine Fuel: Opportunities and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:In June 2023\, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) set revised targets in the 80th session of the Marine Environmental Protection Committee (MEPC) to decarbonize the global fleet. The new targets include a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030\, a 70% reduction by 2040 (compared to 2008 levels)\, and the ultimate goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. \nThe implementation of alternative fuels to conventional fossil-based fuels is key to the decarbonisation of the global maritime and shipping industry. Green Hydrogen is currently one of the prime candidates among alternative shipping fuels\, as it offers ship owners and operators a low-carbon and low-emission fuel option for potential use in internal combustion engines and fuel cells. \nHowever\, there are several complex challenges concerning the adoption of green hydrogen in the shipping industry. In this webinar\, three speakers were invited to present on various topics related to the role of green hydrogen in decarbonising the maritime industry and shed light on the main challenges the maritime industry is currently facing. \nThe invited presentations and speakers are: \n‌Presentation 1: Alternative Fuels and their Implications on Vessel Design \n\nPresented by: Dr. Thomas Beard (BMT)\n\nPresentation 2: Ports’ Opportunities and Challenges in Global Hydrogen Supply Chains \n\nPresented by: Associate Professor Peggy Chen (AMC\, UTAS)\n\n‌Presentation 3: The feasibility of using hydrogen as a marine fuel in Australia \n\nPresented by: Dr. Hongjun Fan (AMC\, UTAS)\n\nFollowed by Q&A
