HILT CRC ANNUAL CONFERENCE
thursday 17 OCTOBER and friday 18 OCTOBER 2024
We invite our partners to join us on Thursday 17 October and Friday 18 October at the Adelaide Zoo Sanctuary for our 2024 Annual Conference – De-risking Decarbonisation.
The conference program developed exclusively for our HILT CRC partners aims to facilitate meaningful discussions, foster collaboration, and ensure that the research efforts of HILT CRC effectively contribute to the decarbonisation of the heavy industry sector. The program will focus on:
Exploration of infrastructure needs for heavy industry decarbonisation and resulting HILT CRC 10-year targets – delve into HILT’s long-term goals and targets and supporting research projects and infrastructure needed to realise our 10-year vision and beyond.
Engage in deep dive discussions – on the progress made on existing projects and research impact for industry.
Alignment with industry priorities – discuss early stage projects, emerging ideas and opportunities to ensure that HILT CRC’s research, educational efforts, and strategic activities are closely aligned with industry priorities.
Networking opportunities – provide networking opportunities for partners and students to connect, collaborate, and exchange ideas. This includes a fully complimentary HILT partner dinner on the Thursday evening, and networking drinks on the Friday evening.
A summary of the topics and conference program is included below. Further updates including the full agenda will be provided as they become available.
If you are a HILT CRC partner, register now for an engaging program of speakers and breakout sessions to continue the conversation on how our research will de-risk decarbonisation for heavy industry.
Please note, this event is exclusive to HILT CRC partners only and bookings require a password distributed to partners.

Hi-TeMP Forum
Proudly brought to you jointly by the University of Adelaide’s Centre for Energy Technology, the Heavy Industry Low-carbon Transition (HILT) CRC, and Mission Innovation’s Net Zero Industry (NZI) mission.
The High Temperature Minerals Processing (HiTeMP) Forum has become a go-to forum for industry, researchers and government agencies at the forefront of implementing the transition to net-zero CO2 emissions for high temperature industrial processes used to produce materials such iron, steel, cement and aluminium. It engages all of the key stakeholder groups from around the world to share the latest developments and develop synthesised perspectives of emerging drivers, technologies, barriers and enablers to further decarbonise energy-intensive, high temperature process industries.
