Decarbonising industrial process heat – renewable solutions for heavy industry

Join HILT CRC for a discussion on the future of industrial heat in Australia, led by Dr Keith Lovegrove, Managing Director of ITP Thermal and principal author of the new CSIRO-commissioned report The Australian Industrial Process Heat Market – Towards Zero Emissions.

This report presents a comprehensive picture of the market for process heat and how renewable heat solutions can support the decarbonisation of process heat – which makes up 20% of Australia’s end-use energy – across key sectors including alumina, iron and steel, and cement production.

With heat use in industry valued at $10 billion annually and gas prices likely to continue to rise, this webinar is valuable for those seeking economically viable emissions-reducing pathways in heavy industry. Attendees will gain insights into sector-specific needs, as well as cost comparisons for electrification, bioenergy, solar thermal and other alternatives.
