Accelerating Decarbonisation Through Industry Hubs: Lessons from Europe’s Experience
- Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2025, 11:30 am - 1:00 pm
- Location: Napier, G03, North Terrace
The transition to a net-zero and circular economy presents a significant challenge for energy-intensive industries worldwide. This public lecture, Accelerating Decarbonisation Through Industry Hubs: Lessons from Europe’s Experience, explores how European industrial hubs have navigated the shift toward sustainability and reduced emissions in sectors such as steel, cement, chemicals, and aluminium. Drawing on comprehensive research, policy evaluations, and industry case studies, the session will provide critical insights into the effectiveness of various decarbonisation approaches and their implications for South Australia’s industrial future.
Comparative Analysis of Energy Crisis: Political and Structural Lessons from South Australia’s Blackouts and the Iberian Peninsula’s Energy Shocks
- Date: Thu, 29 May 2025, 9:45 am - 11:00 am
- Location: Lecture Theatre G04, Napier Building, North Terrace Campus
This session will explore how structural vulnerabilities, political decision-making, and market design contributed to South Australia's 2016 blackouts and the Iberian Peninsula's recent energy crisis. It will examine how jurisdictions can enhance resilience while balancing sustainability, affordability, and reliability. Key themes include the management of political risk, the role of public trust, and implications for industry strategy — particularly for energy-intensive sectors navigating volatility. The discussion will also consider how regional ecosystems (such as South Australia’s clean energy hubs) can attract investment and foster innovation while supporting system resilience.
