HILT CRC public webinar
Webinar | 05 February 2025 | 10:00am – 11:00am CET | 8:00PM – 9:00PM AEDT
This webinar explained how the Heavy Industry Low-carbon Transition Cooperative Research Centre (HILT CRC) is driving heavy industry toward a low-carbon future.
Designed for organisations that are not yet HILT CRC partners, as well as anyone wanting a general overview of HILT, this free public webinar outlined the CRC’s mission to de-risk and accelerate decarbonisation across the iron and steel, alumina, and cement sectors, highlighting key projects, milestones, and collaborations with over 60 partners.
Partner benefits
Attendees learned how partnering with HILT CRC can position their organisation at the forefront of low-carbon innovation through collaboration on cutting-edge research and access to transformative technologies. The average R&D leverage for HILT CRC’s industry core partners is $11:$1.
The webinar covered:
- getting early access to cutting-edge research and technologies that reduce emissions and improve efficiency
- mitigating low-carbon transition risks through collaborative, industry-led research projects
- collaborating with industry leaders and technical experts to share knowledge and best practices
- shaping the future of your industry by contributing to the development of innovative solutions
- receiving expert insight into supply chains, policies and commercial pathways for low-carbon materials.
Webinar agenda

Collaborative approach
HILT CRC drives industry-led, problem-solving research. Its teams of expert researchers are strongly aligned with industry to focus research on the practical challenges that companies face to de-risk the technology pathways to decarbonise heavy industry.
HILT’s projects span three research programs:
- Facilitating Transformation: non-technical enablers such as developing supporting frameworks for low-carbon technologies, assessing barriers and policy enablers for production and trade, and enabling facilities and infrastructure.
- Processing Technologies: emerging technologies to decarbonise heavy industry, including producing green iron products, green alumina calcination, and green steel.
- Cross-Cutting Technologies: investigating new and hybrid energy sources, integrating green energy and fuels into industrial processes, and capture and re-use of carbon dioxide.
