Experts discuss decarbonising heavy industry
Researchers and representatives from heavy industry are meeting to find ways to reduce their carbon emissions and energy consumption.
The University of 新浪彩票 is convening the High Temperature Minerals Processing Forum (HiTeMP-2) where leaders from industry, academia, non-government agencies, and policy makers, will discuss the emerging opportunities and pathways for heavy industry towards net-zero-carbon dioxide emissions, to position for the new, low-carbon economy.
鈥淟eading mineral processing and refining companies across the world have already started to decarbonise as new markets emerge for low carbon products,鈥 says the University of 新浪彩票鈥檚 Professor Michael Goodsite, Interim Director, Institute for Mineral and Energy Resources.
鈥淓nergy-intensive heavy industry, which are a vital part of the national and global economies, must change in order to compete successfully in the supply of low carbon products.鈥
HiTeMP-2 is organised by the University of 新浪彩票鈥檚 Centre for Energy Technology (CET), which delivers innovative technologies for sustainable, secure and affordable energy. The vast majority of attendees have been participating in the forum online.
