The Net Zero Australia (NZAu) Project will unveil its latest findings on potential pathways to decarbonise Australia’s heavy industry sector.

The NZAu Decarbonising Heavy Industry Report presents updated modelling to assess potential pathways for Australian industrial sectors to reach net zero emissions, including:

  • potential roles of electrification, fuel switching, CO2 capture and CO2 removals;
  • how natural gas prices, biomass availability, shared infrastructure and energy security imperatives could shape Australia’s decarbonisation pathways; and
  • the impact of these options on the costs of industrial decarbonisation.

The seminar will conclude with a panel discussion and Q&A with the audience, featuring speakers:

  • Simon Smart, Associate Professor, School of Chemical Engineering, University of Queensland
  • Kathryn Mumford, Professor and Head, Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Melbourne

The seminar will be moderated by Professor Belinda Wade of the University of Queensland Business School.
