Real Zero in Action: How Industry and Heavy Freight Can Lead Australia’s Climate Transition

​Heavy industry and transport are two of Australia’s hardest sectors to decarbonise, yet they are also where some of the most meaningful progress is now being made.

​This online panel brings together leaders from heavy freight and mining to explore how electrification is already enabling real-world emissions reduction today, and what it will take to scale these solutions across the economy.

​Featuring Co-CEOs of New Energy Transport (NET) and Katie Valentine from Fortescue, the session will examine what “Real Zero” looks like in practice, how different sectors are approaching their decarbonisation journeys and the lessons being learned along the way.

​The discussion will move beyond ambition and into delivery, highlighting the technologies, partnerships, policy settings and mindset shifts required to decarbonise Australia’s most emissions-intensive industries at speed.
