SUMMARY:HILT CRC project webinar: Experimental evaluation of metallothermic processing of Australian iron ores
DESCRIPTION:HILT CRC partners are invited to join us for an update on OFP002: Experimental evaluation of metallothermic processing of Australian iron ores. \nPresented by Helios CEO Jonathan Geifman\, the webinar will outline Helios’s sodium-based green ironmaking route – an oxygen-emitting process designed for low-grade ores\, tailings\, slags and red mud – and report on research findings to date. \nThis project is evaluating how the Helios process performs across a range of Australian ores and operating conditions. \nProf. Akbar Rhamdhani (Swinburne University of Technology) will also provide a snapshot of OFP001 Evaluation of metallothermic processing of Australian iron ores\, which is screening alternative metallothermic routes through thermodynamic modelling\, small-scale experiments and preliminary cost analysis to identify promising reductants\, operating windows and recycling options for Australian ores. \nRachelle Doyle\, Research Leader\, HILT CRC Program 1 (Process Technologies)\, will introduce the speakers and moderate the audience Q&A. \n\nNOTE: This webinar is exclusive to employees of HILT CRC Partner organisations. Register via the form below or contact admin@hiltcrc.com.au for the registration link. \n\nWEBINAR REGISTRATION – OFP002 Experimental evaluation of metallothermic processing of Australian iron oresPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *Email address *HILT CRC Partner organisation *Microsoft Event Terms and Conditions *I have read and agree to the Microsoft Event Terms and Conditions (see link below)REGISTER  \nMicrosoft Event Terms and Conditions \n\nSPEAKERS\nJonathan Geifman\, CEO\, Helios\n \nJonathan Geifman is an entrepreneur with over a decade of experience in various leadership roles. He co-founded Helios in 2018\, originally as an in-situ-resource-utilisation (ISRU) space-tech company to produce oxygen on the lunar surface.

He was a teaching-research academic at Institute of Technology Bandung (ITB) and the University of Queensland\, a Visiting Professor at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven Belgium\, and a Visiting Scientist at CSIRO before joining Swinburne. He is currently a Visiting Professor at IT\, in the Faculty of Mining and Petroleum Engineering.  \nAkbar’s has expertise in advanced metal/material refining and impurities removal; development of new processes for metal production; thermodynamics and kinetics of high temperature metal and chemical processes; and low-carbon metal processes. Current research includes recycling and recovery of metals from urban resources (e-waste\, end-of-life alkaline and lithium ion batteries\, solar panel\, permanent magnet); decarbonisation and hydrogenation of metallurgical processes; pyrometallurgical processes of rare earth elements; solar metallurgy (the use of concentrated solar thermal energy for minerals and metals processing); and astro-metallurgy (extra-terrestrial minerals and metals processing; e.g. metals extraction on mars and the moon).  \nAkbar delivered courses and workshops with/to metals industries in Australia\, Europe and Indonesia. He and his research teams have received multiple international awards\, including 2027 TMS Distinguished Lecturer; 2026 TMS EPD Science Award; 2026 TMS JSM Best Paper Award; 2025 Editor of Distinction Awards – Springer Nature; and 2024 LMD/EPD Best Energy Paper from TMS\, USA. He is currently an Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Sustainable Metallurgy. \n\nRachelle Doyle\, Leader\, Program 1 – Process Technologies\, HILT CRC\n \nRachelle is a Perth-based chemical engineer and senior R&D leader with 30+ years’ experience in diverse roles across iron ore\, energy and alumina. She serves on several Curtin University advisory bodies (Chair\, Chemical Engineering & Corrosion Centre Advisory Group; member\, Curtin Institute of Energy Transition Industry Advisory Board) and on the University of Adelaide’s Centre for Energy Technology Advisory Board\, bringing deep industry–research connectivity and portfolio management experience. She has built and led substantial research portfolios and partnerships\, including a ~$90 million annual R&D program at Rio Tinto Iron Ore spanning early-phase research through to scaled field demonstrations.  \nCareer highlights include leading technology teams and R&D portfolios at Rio Tinto (Iron Ore) and Fortescue Future Industries\, shaping Woodside’s technology and new energies strategies\, global implementation of process safety practices for Chevron\, and early-career roles at Queensland Alumina (working for Hatch Kaiser Engineers) and Alcoa.  \nRachelle’s contributions to technology development in Australia were recognised in 2024 when she was named a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE). She is also a fellow of the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE)\, a Chartered Professional Engineer and Deputy Chair of IChemE Australia\, and has chaired Standards Australia’s Hydrogen Technologies Committee\, helping deliver more than 30 standards since 2019.

SUMMARY:HILT CRC short course: Policy Levers & Market Frameworks – Perth
DESCRIPTION:HILT CRC short course: Policy Levers & Market Frameworks\nThis two-day course is designed for industry professionals seeking to understand and engage with the policy frameworks\, certification schemes and market instruments enabling the low-carbon transition in heavy industry sectors. \nParticipants will explore how industrial decarbonisation can be accelerated through industrial policies\, Guarantee of Origin (GO) schemes\, Embedded Emissions Frameworks (EEFs)\, demand-pull and supply-push instruments\, and system design considerations for emissions transparency and accountability. \nBy the end of the course\, participants will be able to: \n\nidentify key policy instruments and frameworks enabling industrial decarbonisation\nunderstand how GO schemes and EEFs contribute to emissions transparency\ndemonstrate understanding of policy drivers and align industry’s decarbonisation strategies with emerging regulatory and market signals\nnavigate interoperability challenges and recommend harmonisation strategies.\n\nPresented by Australian National University (ANU) and HILT CRC experts Associate Professor Emma Aisbett and Dr Hina Aslam\, the course will cover the following modules (all presentations will be followed by interactive discussions and activities): \n\nIntroduction to the Australian policy environment\nInteractions between trade and investment policy and climate policy\nIntroduction to Embedded Emissions Frameworks\nDeep dive into Embedded Emissions Frameworks.\n\nREGISTRATION: This course is free for HILT CRC Partners* and includes lunch on both days and networking drinks on day 1. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n* If you’re a HILT CRC Partner employee and haven’t received the registration password\, contact us at admin@hiltcrc.com.au. \nREGISTER HERE \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCOURSE agenda\n  \n\n\nDAY 1\n\nArrival and coffee\n9:00am – 9:30am \nWelcome and introductions\n9:30am – 10:00am \n\nModule 1: Introduction to the Australian policy environment\n\n10:00am – 12:30pm \nIntroduction to\, and economic framing of\, green industrial policies\, including an overview of the current Australian policy environment for heavy industry. \nLunch\n12:30pm – 1:30pm \n\n\nModule 2: Interactions between trade and investment policy and climate policy\n1:30pm – 4:30pm \n\nOverview of the interactions between trade & investment policy and climate policy.
