Accelerating decarb through industry hubs – European lessons for Australia's industrial region

Explore how European industrial hubs are accelerating the decarbonisation of heavy industry through circular economy principles, cross-sector collaboration, and innovative policy approaches. Using examples including Sweden's HYBRIT project and Denmark's Kalundborg industrial symbiosis network, this webinar examines technological, economic and policy pathways that can inform sustainable industrial development in Australia. This presentation is part of the HILT CRC webinar series.

Description

This webinar examines how European industrial hubs have accelerated the decarbonisation of emissions-intensive industries through collaboration, innovation, and policy. Participants explore the role of industrial ecosystems, circular economy principles, material efficiency, infrastructure development, and government support in reducing emissions across the steel, cement, chemicals, and aluminium sectors. The module analyses practical case studies, including Sweden's HYBRIT initiative and Denmark's Kalundborg industrial symbiosis network, while evaluating technological, economic, and policy mechanisms such as Carbon Contracts for Difference (CCfDs). Learners will apply these European lessons to assess opportunities, barriers, and transition pathways relevant to Australia's industrial regions.
