Overview

 

The Australian heavy industry sector contributes more than $20b to the national economy each year and provides employment to tens of thousands of Australians particularly in regional areas. However, the emergence of emissions reduction schemes in Europe, Asia, and North America combined with the growing demand for low-carbon iron, aluminium, cement, zinc, and other products is putting the sector under increasing pressure to reduce its emissions to remain globally competitive. While some of the sector’s emissions can be reduced through greater utilisation of renewable energy, 75% of the sector’s emissions cannot be avoided by simply using renewable electricity.
