SUMMARY:HILT CRC public webinar: Principles for embedded emissions accounting to support trade-related climate policy
DESCRIPTION:Principles for embedded emissions accounting to support trade-related climate policy\n  \nPublic webinar presented by Associate Professor Emma Aisbett\, Australian National University \nAs the world transitions to net zero\, governments around the world are rapidly introducing policies targeting emissions embodied in these traded products. \nTo support these policies\, governments are investing in the development of public embedded emissions accounting frameworks\, known as EEFs. The Australian Government’s ‘Guarantee of Origin’ scheme is a world-leading example. \nWhile EEFs have enormous potential to support the transition to a net-zero global economy\, they equally have the potential to inhibit trade\, slow the transition\, and have a disproportionate impact on developing countries – both through their design\, and through potential incompatibilities between accounting developed in different jurisdictions. Our research has identified a set of eight design principles for EEFs to be compatible with both international trade law and climate change mitigation regimes. \n  \n\n\n\n\nSPEAKER\n  \n\n\nAssociate Professor Emma Aisbett\, ANU College of Law\, Governance and Policy\, and Associate Director (Research)\, ANU Zero-Carbon Energy for the Asia-Pacific\n \nEmma Aisbett is an Associate Professor at the School of Law and Associate Director (Research) for ANU Grand Challenge – Zero-Carbon Energy for the Asia-Pacific. Emma’s previous research spans economic globalisation\, environmental policy\, developing countries and political economy. She is best known for her work on international investment agreements where she has influenced both academic debate and policy. On this topic Emma has been an invited expert at both the OECD and the UN Commission on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). She is also an approved supplier of policy advice to developing countries through the UK Government’s TAF2+ initiative. \nEmma’s current research centres on trade-related climate policy and international green industrial policy\, with a focus on embedded emissions accounting frameworks\, certification and international green-economy collaborations. Her transdisciplinary approach combines expertise and collaboration across both disciplines and sectors. Recent collaborations include Australian Government and industry\, as well as international organisations including the World Bank and Asian Development Bank. \nIn 2021 Emma was awarded the prestigious John H Jackson Prize for most significantly breaking new ground and adding new insights to the study and understanding of international economic law. She is also a member of the ARC College of Experts and was a judge of the 2024 Australian Eureka Prize for Sustainability Research. \n

SUMMARY:HILT CRC project webinar: Iron ore beneficiation – technology to upgrade ores for green iron and steel production
DESCRIPTION:Iron ore beneficiation – technology to upgrade ores for green iron and steel production\n  \nWe invite you to our upcoming public webinar\, presented by Dr Lina Hockaday from Curtin University and Dr Alfonso Chinnici from The University of Adelaide. \nTechnology and processes to beneficiate iron ores is important to overcome challenges in using low-grade Pilbara iron ores in low emissions direct reduced ironmaking (DRI) and avoiding more carbon intensive blast furnaces in steel production. \nOur current project RP1.011 The upgrading of iron ore for DRI production using products from seawater RO brines\, led by Dr Lina Hockaday and Professor Jacques Eksteen from Curtin University\, aims to improve the commercial viability of using low-grade iron ores in low emissions DRI production. The project also aims to support the circular economy by not only using waste brines to upgrade the ores\, but also by generating valuable by-products. This project recently secured an additional $2.4M funding from ARENA\, MRIWA and Curtin University in ARENA’s recent Iron and Steel R&D Round\, to enable the technology to be taken to pre-commercial readiness. \nOne of our Quickstart projects led by Dr Alfonso Chinnici\, RP1.006: The viability of high flux thermal pre-treatment of low-grade iron ores\, showed that heating of crushed iron ore prior to grinding can yield significant net benefits in beneficiation. Building on these encouraging results\, Alfonso now leads the current 1-year project RP1.008 Green pyromet/hydromet beneficiation pathways which aims to establish combined pyromet-hydromet and pyromet-magnetic separation flowsheet options with the potential to upgrade Pilbara and Whyalla fine iron ores (e.g.\, goethite/hematite) to lower carbon intensity while achieving higher grade ores. \nThis webinar presents a unique opportunity to hear from Lina and Alfonso about these groundbreaking projects\, aiming to de-risk the production of green steel at scale by addressing key challenges in the iron ore beneficiation process. \n\nNOTE: This webinar is exclusive to employees of HILT CRC Partner organisations. \n  \n\nSPEAKERS\nDr Alfonso Chinnici\, The University of Adelaide\n \nDr Alfonso Chinnici is a distinguished Senior Lecturer in Sustainability\, Net-Zero\, and Energy Innovation at the University of Adelaide and an executive member of its Centre for Energy Technology.

SUMMARY:HILT CRC public webinar: Safeguard as a mechanism to facilitate the low-emission vision for 2050
DESCRIPTION:Safeguard as a mechanism to facilitate the low-emission vision for 2050\n  \nJoin us for our upcoming webinar\, presented by presented by Patrick Passey\, Director of the Safeguard Strategic Policy team in the Department of Climate Change\, Energy\, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW). \nThe Safeguard Mechanism is the Australian Government’s policy for reducing emissions at Australia’s largest industrial facilities. \nIt sets legislated limits – known as baselines – on the greenhouse gas emissions of these facilities. These baselines will decline\, predictably and gradually\, on a trajectory consistent with achieving Australia’s emission reduction targets of 43% below 2005 levels by 2030 and net zero by 2050. \nThe Safeguard Mechanism was reformed in 2023 to ensure that covered facilities contribute to meeting these targets\, while strengthening their competitiveness as the world moves to net zero. \nThis webinar provides an excellent opportunity to hear directly from Patrick who will discuss what the Safeguard Mechanism is\, including the reforms that commenced on 1 July 2023.

SUMMARY:HILT CRC public webinar: The Net-Zero Industries Mission – accelerating the industrial decarbonisation journey
DESCRIPTION:The Net-Zero Industries Mission – accelerating the industrial decarbonisation journey\n  \nJoin us for our upcoming webinar\, presented by Dr Alan Monaghan (SVP Technology and Expert Solutions – Worley and Global Mission Coordinator – Net Zero Industries\, Mission Innovation) and Elvira Lutter (Program Manager – the Climate and Energy Fund of the Austrian Federal Government and Mission Director – Net-Zero Industries\, Mission Innovation) who will discuss the Net Zero Industries Mission (NZIM)\, the most ambitious undertaking of Mission Innovation since its inception in 2015. \nNZIM is taking on the challenge to help accelerate the adoption of decarbonisation technologies across the heavy emitting and hard to abate sectors including iron and steel\, cement and lime\, chemicals and refining and all other high intensity industrial activities. Together this group produce 25% of the world emissions and some of the hardest and most capital intensive to achieve net zero. \nWhile there is significant overlap between NZIM and the HILT CRC program of technology and research advancement\, NZIM takes this journey further by focusing on the: \n\ndemonstration of industrial scale decarbonisation technologies;\nidentification and effective management of barriers to technology investment and deployment;\nrecognition of the vital human stakeholder role in achieving trust and confidence in the scale deployment of these demonstrated technologies.\n\nThe NZI Mission is a government initiative however\, significant industrial involvement and leadership will be essential in ensuring the mission activities and other key stakeholders actions support industry in their journey and accelerated decarbonisation. \nThis webinar will highlight the opportunities and benefits available to our industry partners to be founding members of the mission leadership teams in assisting and accelerating their own industrial decarbonisation journey.

SUMMARY:HILT CRC public webinar: Pathways to low-carbon alumina production
DESCRIPTION:Pathways to low-carbon alumina production\n  \nJoin us for our upcoming webinar\, presented by Professor Gus Nathan (HILT CRC Research Director & Director\, Centre for Energy Technology\, The University of Adelaide) and Dr Woei Saw (HILT CRC Senior Lecturer\, The University of Adelaide) who will discuss the pathways that are emerging as being among the most prospective for decarbonising alumina production. \nAlumina production is among the industrial processes that is challenging to abate due to the lack of access to low-carbon energy sources at sufficient scale and affordability\, and also the lack of commercially proven technology to utilise it. Alumina production comprises both a lower temperature digestion/purification process and a high temperature calcination one\, with the temperature and details of the former tailored to each ore resource and the latter being undertaken in a range of types of high temperature reactor\, depending on the plant\, such as fluidised beds and flash reactors. \nConversion of these processes to operate on emerging low-carbon energy sources such as hydrogen or renewable electricity will require significant changes to the plant and in turn\, require significant capital investment. There is also a large amount of uncertainty about the how the relative cost of the various emerging low-carbon energy sources will evolve into the future. However\, there is also potential to generate new opportunities for efficiency improvements from such conversions\, which has potential to mitigate these costs. In addition\, the direct use of heat generated from concentrated solar thermal energy technology also has potential to be competitive. \nThis webinar provides an excellent opportunity to hear the current status in the development of solutions and will explore the prospective pathways forward.

SUMMARY:HILT CRC public webinar: Australian Industry Energy Transitions Initiative Report – pathways to industrial decarbonisation
DESCRIPTION:Australian Industry Energy Transitions Initiative Report – pathways to industrial decarbonisation: Positioning Australian industry to prosper in a net zero global economy\n  \nJoin us for our upcoming webinar\, presented by Kylie Turner (Program Impact Manager) and Rob Kelly (System Lead – Industry) from Climateworks Centre. \nThe Australian Industry Energy Transitions Initiative (ETI) recently released report ‘Pathways to industrial decarbonisation: Positioning Australian industry to prosper in a net zero global economy’ is the outcome of three years of extensive research\, analysis\, debate and consultation with industry representing over 30% of the ASX100. \nThe report sets out decarbonisation pathways across five key supply chains; iron and steel; aluminium; LNG; other metals (including copper\, nickel\, lithium); and chemicals\, such as fertilisers and explosives. It outlines how heavy industry can transition to net zero emissions while limiting warming to 1.5°C and calls on this moment of opportunity to align and focus efforts to create a globally competitive\, equitable\, net zero industrial economy in Australia. \nThis webinar provides an excellent opportunity for researchers and industry to hear directly from Kylie and Rob who will discuss the report findings\, followed by a short Q&A session. \nImage has been reproduced with approval from Climateworks Centre.
