SUMMARY:Optimising energy infrastructure development to provide reliable\, affordable clean energy for industrial hubs
DESCRIPTION:Join HILT CRC for a dynamic panel discussion on the optimisation of energy infrastructure for reliable\, affordable clean energy in the transition of heavy industry hubs. \nThe panel\, to be moderated by CSIRO’s Dr Tara Hosseini\, will feature Mitch Burt (South32 and Industry Chair of HILT’s Cross-cutting Technologies Program)\, Katie McKenzie (Australian Energy Market Operator)\, Wayne Harris (OneSteel Manufacturing)\, Kim Enkelaar (Renewables\, Climate and Future Industries Tasmania)\, Ben Saward (Grange Resources) and Professor Gus Nathan (HILT CRC and University of Adelaide). \nThe session will cover: \n\nhow heavy industry low-carbon transition pathways may change energy demands\nenergy supply options such as electricity\, natural gas and low-emissions fuels\nfollow-on implications for energy infrastructure requirements.\n\nThe panel will consider what ‘integrated energy infrastructure’ really means for industrial hubs – balancing reliability\, affordability and decarbonisation while supporting investment decisions that minimise costs and keep future options open. \nWe’ll also look at how regional plans connect with national energy planning (including AEMO) and how collaboration between industry\, governments and network planners can unlock and inform investment in energy infrastructure. \nTara will provide an update on HILT project RP3.007 Unlocking investment in energy infrastructure for net-zero industrial hubs\, which is assessing opportunities and optimal pathways for staged investments in electricity and gas infrastructure to support low-carbon energy at scale in key regional locations by 2050. \nAttendees will leave with a clearer understanding of this crucial issue and insight into some of the steps that are being – or should be – taken to advance arguably the most important requirement for heavy industry decarbonisation: affordable\, reliable low-carbon energy at scale.

SUMMARY:HILT CRC public webinar: Using the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) Method to support aluminium decarbonisation
DESCRIPTION:The Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) Performance Standard V3 (2022) calls for certifying ASI Entities (no matter where they sit on the aluminium value chain) to “establish a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Reduction Plan and ensure a GHG Emissions Reduction Pathway consistent with a 1.5-degree warming scenario”. \nThe ASI Method (published in 2024) is a unique\, whole-of-value-chain model that allows companies to articulate 1.5-degree aligned pathways and demonstrate conformance with this requirement. \nIn this webinar\, ASI Climate Change and Decarbonisation Director Chris Bayliss will explore the ASI Method’s “sectoral decarbonisation approach”\, which has applicability throughout the aluminium value chain\, from mining to end use and recycling. \nAssociate Professor Emma Aisbett from the Australian National University will share the HILT CRC perspective. Emma leads HILT CRC’s project on certification and verification (⁠RP3.006)\, which is working with industry partners to make sense of the rapidly evolving rules for measuring and certifying embedded emissions across aluminium\, cement and other sectors. Her team’s research is helping companies these frameworks and how to position themselves for market access and competitiveness in a low-carbon economy. \nThe presentations will be followed by an audience Q&A.

SUMMARY:HILT CRC public webinar: Beyond electrolysis – novel technologies to lower the cost of renewable hydrogen
DESCRIPTION:Hydrogen generated from renewable sources is seen as a key enabler for heavy industry decarbonisation\, particularly for green steel production. However\, with increasing numbers of hydrogen projects around the world being deferred or cancelled\, there is an increasing focus on the cost and scale up of hydrogen produced using electrolysis\, currently the dominant technology for green hydrogen. As a result\, there is increasing interest in emerging alternative technologies that could reduce costs and accelerate deployment. \nThis webinar explores innovative approaches to hydrogen generation\, focusing on photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical water splitting – technologies that have the potential to deliver significant cost reductions in clean hydrogen production. We’ll also take a brief look at thermochemical and methane pyrolysis routes. \nLearn more and register here: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/55e77009-ad0d-49b2-b6a5-b88ca7b92b67@624f7526-1cda-4dc6-8b7f-28e9ac912dc3

SUMMARY:Decarbonising industrial process heat – renewable solutions for heavy industry
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThis 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. \nWith 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. \nAgenda \n\nWelcome and introduction – Prof. Peter Ashman\, University of Adelaide and Research Leader\, HILT CRC Program 3 (Cross-Cutting Technologies) (TBC)\nDr Keith Lovegrove\, Managing Director\, ITP Thermal – 30 min\nDr Jordan Parham\, Strategic Initiatives and Partnerships Director\, HILT CRC – industry perspective – 5 min\nProf. Peter Ashman (TBC) – researcher perspective on HILT CRC’s activities – 5 min\nQ&A.
