The net-zero emissions by 2050 challenge needs everyone to play their part
Description
Industrial decarbonisation is a fundamental way Australia and other countries around the world can achieve 'Net Zero' emissions targets by 2050, and therefore fulfil promises made in the Paris Agreement to help reduce climate change.
David Eyre, CEO of the UNSW Institute for Industrial Decarbonisation, and engineering and manufacturing executive Shay Chalmers join STEMM journalist Neil Martin to talk about the challenges of decarbonisation as populations grow and demand for products such as cement, steel, plastic and ammonia rise as a result.
They will explain why fostering collaborations and partnerships is important to keep producing such important materials while also reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and provide analysis about new decarbonisation technologies, revealing how technical and economic feasibility is just one part of the whole process.
