Partner with us in decarbonising heavy industry - HILT CRC - Transforming industry to a low-carbon future

The heavy industrial sector is a critically important industry to Australia, providing more than $20b per annum to the national economy, export income, and tens of thousands of regional jobs. While the sector has progressively reduced many emissions, its greenhouse gas emissions are hard to abate. Up to 75% of emissions from processing iron, aluminium, cement, zinc and other minerals cannot be avoided simply by using renewable electricity. Alternative carbon-neutral production technologies are needed, and they are needed at scale. Cooperative Research Centres (CRCs), through formal partnerships between industry and researchers with strong support from government, are designed to break through transformation barriers. Companies are invited to partner in a new proposal to the Australian Government to form a Heavy Industry Low-carbon Transition Cooperative Research Centre (HILT CRC) to expedite the decarbonisation of Australia’s heavy industrial processes and produce materials vital to the local and global economies at lower costs and in more sustainable ways.
