PRESENTATION | Australia’s Green Steel Transition: Opportunities and Challenges

Australia’s green steel transition presents both a major challenge and a significant opportunity. China is rapidly moving towards decarbonisation, creating an opportunity for Australia to lead in green iron production. However, building a green iron industry faces hurdles, even in adopting low-emission methods like Direct Reduced Iron given our expensive domestic fossil gas. Key steps for success in this industry were discussed at the Australian Green Iron & Steel Forum on March 26-27, 2025, at Pan Pacific Perth, where Tim was invited as a speaker. Read more

Tim discusses Australia’s advantages in solar and wind resources, comparing its progress with countries like China and India, who are leading in renewable energy installation. Tim argues that Australia must embrace decarbonization opportunities, particularly by leveraging its mining sector to produce green iron and create value-added exports that could significantly reduce emissions in the steel industry.
