Heavy Industry Low-carbon Transition Cooperative Research Centre
World-leading minds from industry, research and government working together to decarbonise heavy industry.
Discover how we work with our partners to reduce the heavy industry’s CO2 emissions.
Get in touch to learn more about HILT CRC, partnership opportunities or how you can further engage with us.
HILT CRC’s projects span our three research programs: Processing Technologies, Cross-Cutting Technologies, and Facilitation Transformation. Our world-leading research is accelerating the development of decarbonisation technologies that can be commercialised and lead to net-zero production.
Advancing the viability of high-temperature thermal energy storage for industrial applications – Phase 2
De-risking electric smelting furnaces for Australian ores
A policy roadmap for Australia’s heavy industry low-carbon transition
Alumina refineries’ next-generation transition (AlumiNEXT™) Project
Unlocking investment in energy infrastructure for net-zero industrial hubs
Hydrogen utilisation in industrial applications: evaluation of impact on materials and infrastructure
Physical and chemical properties of ores associated with new processing technologies
In collaboration with our partners, we will transition the steel, iron, alumina and cement industries to reduce the heavy industry’s CO2 emissions.
Through dedicated Education and Training Programs, we will lead the upskilling and training of the heavy industry’s workforce, enabling skilled personnel to transition to a low-carbon sector.
Australian Government announces $750 million funding for green metals
HILT CRC welcomes today's announcement by the Australian Government of $750 million in funding to advance innovation in green metals, enhancing the global competitiveness of Australia's metals manufacturing industry.
HILT CRC industry internship helps optimise clay calcination
HILT CRC-supported PhD candidate Nikhil Kirti recently completed an industry internship with FCT Combustion, developing a model of clay behaviour during calcination (heating the clay to remove moisture and impurities) in the cement-making process.
HILT CRC launches energy infrastructure project to help guide heavy industry decarbonisation
HILT CRC has launched a flagship three-year project on energy infrastructure to provide clear, data-driven estimates of energy costs to inform government policy and enable heavy industry to plan its decarbonisation pathway.
BlueScope joins HILT CRC to help drive low-carbon innovation in heavy industry
BlueScope has joined HILT CRC as a Key Partner, underscoring the global steel producer’s commitment to introducing innovative solutions to cut emissions from iron and steelmaking.
We are co-leading the Net-Zero Industries Innovation Mission to develop and demonstrate solutions for the efficient decarbonisation of energy intensive industries by 2030.
