Description
Hydrogen is set to play a crucial role in supporting the production of green iron. As demand for low-emission raw materials grows, this interactive workshop will examine the policy landscape, investment opportunities, and technological innovations needed to scale hydrogen solutions for greening iron ore and steel production.
- How will the $1 billion Green Iron Investment Fund support hydrogen-based iron and steel projects, and what role will WA play in this transition?
- What other policy and funding initiatives at the federal and state levels are driving the development of green iron and hydrogen-based steel production?
- What role do mining companies see for green hydrogen as part of decarbonisation pathways?
- What are the key technical and economic challenges in scaling hydrogen solutions for mining, and how can lessons from current projects be applied across the sector?
- What lessons can be drawn from projects like Whyalla Steelworks and WA’s NeoSmelt initiative to accelerate green iron adoption?
