Following yesterday’s comment on the opportunity of lower-emissions energy, @AuManufacturing’s “technologies and tools…” series turns to the future of hydrogen. Dr Fiona Simon explains its potential role as an exportable fuel, a fuel for process heat or energy for transport, and in supporting high-skilled jobs.
South Australian copper miner Oz Minerals has signed a deal with Sanjeev Gutpa’s Whyalla Port to export concentrate from its new Carrapateena mine.
Continuing yesterday’s sustainability theme, @AuManufacturing’s “technologies and tools…” turns to the potential of bioenergy, which is underutilised in Australia compared to Europe. Shaun Scallan explains.
Professor Veena Sahajwalla begins week two of our technologies and tools for a manufacturing transformation series. She writes about one element of sovereign capability generally overlooked in the current discussion.
Today, @AuManufacturing’s “technologies and tools…” series turns to technology adoption among SMEs. Inu Rana and David Fox look at some of the difficulties and benefits of increased digitalisation for smaller companies, and what it means in practical terms. There is no denying that technology is making an impact on manufacturing worldwide, helping the industry keep…
By Peter Roberts A new company made up of experienced global car industry executives has been formed to produce hydrogen vehicles at facilities at Port Kembla in New South Wales. The new company, H2X Australia, to be revealed to the general media later today, has developed several prototypes powered by a hybrid powertrain of hydrogen…
Truckers, miners, bus operators and rubbish collectors across Australia are helping edge a device designed to save fuel and slash emissions closer to commercialisation.
On day two of our new series, aimed at helping businesses transform their operations to compete and grow through new tools and technologies, we hear from Carl de Koning. He lays out eight characteristics important to advanced manufacturers. Over the past 40 years, I have had the privilege of working for three exceptional companies: Air…
Every year, treated wastewater sludge called “biosolids” is recycled and spread over agricultural land. My recent research discovered this practice dumps thousands of tonnes of microplastics into farmlands around the world. In Australia, we estimate this amount as at least 1,241 tonnes per year.
Over April, we invited the @AuManufacturing and Australian Manufacturing Forum communities to have their say on what policies the sector needs to thrive.
