The Decarbonised Mine 2025 in Perth confirmed the Australian mining sector's accelerating and multifaceted commitment to decarbonisation, driven by urgent regulatory mandates like the Safeguard Mechanism, escalating investor ESG pressure, and the increasing technological and economic viability of low-carbon solutions. Key strategic themes emerged around the rapid Accelerating Technological Adoption for Deep Decarbonisation, with significant progress in integrated renewable energy and storage, the critical push for fleet electrification, cautious yet strategic exploration of hydrogen and alternative processes, and the foundational role of digitalization and AI.
