Horizon 2035: Decarbonising Australia’s heavy industry released!
Powering Australia is pleased to release Horizon 2035: Decarbonising Australia’s heavy industry, the latest in our series of sector plans mapping Australia’s path to clean-tech leadership.
Industrial activities account for 34% of national emissions, yet Australia’s world-class renewables, critical minerals, and skilled workforce position us uniquely to decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors like steel, cement, and fertiliser production.
This report reveals how opportunities in green ammonia, iron, and aluminium could unlock $31 billion in economic value and create 85,000 jobs by 2035, scaling to $260 billion and 192,500 jobs by 2050 through targeted strategies.
Key insights include:
- Australia is well positioned to leverage its resource advantage.
- Low cost renewables are the key to Australia’s industry.
- Advantage can be best achieved through a staged transition to renewables.
