Industrial Net Zero Conference 2025

Reducing emissions for hard to abate industries

The 4th annual Industrial Net Zero conference is the premier forum for professionals in mining, manufacturing, energy, metals, and transportation sectors to explore practical strategies for decarbonisation.

As Australia’s heavy industries face growing pressure to reach net zero, this is where you can learn from industry leaders, form cross-sector coalitions, and deliver scalable, profitable solutions. With the Safeguard Mechanism tightening and decarbonisation offering clear business advantages, now is the time to collaborate, innovate, and lead the net-zero transition.

2024 Speakers included:

Mussaret Nagree

General Manager, Climate Opportunities
Wesfarmers Chemicals, Energy & Fertilisers

Andrew Newman

CFO and Company Secretary
Tomago Aluminium

Cyril Giraud

Head of Sustainability
Holcim Australia

Top reasons to attend

Learn the latest strategies to decarbonise your energy supply
Gain practical knowledge from real-world case studies on how major industrial players are transforming their energy use—through electrification, renewables integration, fuel switching, and strategic procurement—to meet emissions targets while improving reliability and cost-efficiency.

Explore technological innovation in industrial processes
Discover how advancements in automation, electrification, hydrogen, and low-carbon fuels are unlocking new levels of efficiency, productivity, and emissions reduction across mining, manufacturing, chemicals, and heavy transport.

Gain a comprehensive understanding of infrastructure and investment opportunities
Understand the full ecosystem required to deliver successful decarbonisation projects—from grid and pipeline readiness to financing models, government funding programs, and de-risking strategies for long-term capital investment.

Dive deep into carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) solutions
Learn from project leads and technical experts deploying CCUS at scale across hard-to-abate sectors. Hear about project design, economics, permitting, and integration with industrial operations, as well as the role of hubs and shared infrastructure.

Discover best practices for addressing supply chain emissions
Explore collaborative approaches to reducing Scope 3 emissions, including supplier engagement, procurement policies, embodied carbon tracking, and innovations in transport and materials handling that contribute to whole-of-chain decarbonisation.

Stay ahead of policy and regulatory frameworks
Get the latest updates on key policies like the Safeguard Mechanism, Climate-Related Financial Disclosures, carbon pricing, and international trade implications—plus how to use these frameworks to support your organisation’s net zero roadmap and secure competitive advantage.

Maximise operational performance with cutting-edge energy efficiency strategies
Delve into emerging practices and technologies for optimising energy use, improving plant performance, and upgrading systems—from heat recovery and process electrification to AI-powered monitoring—driving down both emissions and energy costs.
