The Industry & Mining Pathway

Electrolysers, green hydrogen & industrial heat pumps

Zero-carbon manufacturing processes and goods are already in use

Industry and mining produces nearly half of Australia’s emissions (46%). These emissions have traditionally been considered difficult to abate due to the complexity and diversity of activities that fall into the category. However, advances in clean technology mean that industry emissions, largely focused around factories and processing plants, can be reduced through the rapid deployment of proven clean technologies.

To rapidly reduce industry & mining emissions we need:

1. Renewable Energy Industrial Precincts

  • Clean industry hubs that minimise the cost of renewable energy and share manufacturing infrastructure 
  • Enabling economies of scale and efficiencies for Australian manufacturers

2. Electrification of mining and industry

Mining is critical to the transition

Our Hunter Energy Evolution video series explores how Australia’s industry & mining sector is diversifying towards a greener future.

We have the cleantech ready to scale up so that we can speed up deployment to accelerate Australia towards a zero-emissions economy.

Help us improve the Cleantech Showcase

The Cleantech Showcase lists examples of projects that are capable of propelling us towards a prosperous, zero emissions Australia.

This list is not exhaustive and many more comparable projects may exist.
