Accelerating decarbonisation through industry hubs – European lessons and their relevance to Australia’s industrial regions
FREE PUBLIC WEBINAR
Join internationally renowned expert Göran Roos, adjunct professor at The University of Adelaide’s Institute for Sustainability, Energy and Resources, for an examination of how European industrial hubs have navigated the shift toward sustainability, while reducing emissions in the steel, cement, chemicals and aluminium industries.
Hear about:
- The pivotal role of circular economy principles in achieving emission reductions, including evidence suggesting that material efficiency could contribute up to 50% of required emission reductions by 2050
- The importance of cross-sectoral collaboration, with examples such as Sweden’s HYBRIT project and Denmark’s Kalundborg industrial symbiosis network
- Region-specific transition pathways, economic and technical barriers, and disparities in decarbonisation progress across Europe
- Insights into policy mechanisms such as Carbon Contracts for Difference (CCfDs) to support sustainable industrial investment.
