The Role of Renewable Hydrogen in Decarbonising Mining

Hydrogen is an emerging technology that is expected to play a critical role in decarbonising power generation, material movement, and energy-intensive processing for the resource sector. With Australia on track to become a major renewable hydrogen producer and exporter, the mining sector has an opportunity to capitalise on the current momentum towards hydrogen.

This 2nd annual Hydrogen and Mines day will provide the resource and renewable energy sectors with critical insights on the very latest developments in hydrogen as part of remote power systems; as a means of displacing diesel for mining vehicles, and as a fuel replacement for energy-intensive processing. With a number mining operators now actively engaged in early-stage projects, it will also provide case studies and informed perspectives from mining and hydrogen experts on the opportunities and challenges of hydrogen for mines.

David Leitch, Principal, ITK

Simon Corbell, Chief Advisor, Energy Estate

John Connor, CEO, The Carbon Market Institute

There is a lot of discussion around “greening commodities” and customer interest in the carbon intensity of raw materials - how real is this, and which commodities need to respond?

How should mining companies - both majors and smaller producers - position themselves in this environment to respond appropriately and maintain shareholder value?Carbon reduction is ranked among the top five risks facing

mining and metals companies, according to global consultancy EY. Increased stakeholder interest in climate risk combined with heightened public concern over mining’s carbon footprint, and more severe and catastrophic events like the bushfire disaster have pushed climate action to the top of mining’s agenda. Doubling as an Energy Insiders Podcast hosted by Renew Economy, this session will look at how these developments, and the urgency for climate action, is impacting mining.
