Decarbonisation Accelerated project has partnered with the Queensland Mining & Engineering and Exhibition (QME) to facilitate a one-day program focused on Mining and METS on Wednesday July 24.
This event is set to bring together leading minds and key stakeholders to explore real-world examples of decarbonisation challenges and opportunities across the mining industry and its supply chains.
The program will facilitate the exchange of ideas, innovations and strategies to drive the decarbonisation agenda forward. With a focus on actionable insights and collaborative approaches, the program is designed to empower industry leaders to make significant strides in reducing carbon footprints.
Greater Whitsunday Alliance Chief Executive Officer Ms Kylie Porter said the key message of the QME Decarbonisation Accelerated Program is to encourage the mining supply chain to embrace decarbonisation as an opportunity to transform and remain competitive.
“Session themes will focus on circular economy, post-mining land use, and decarbonisation leadership to help delegates understand the scale of decarbonisation opportunity.”
Ms Porter said attendees will see industry leaders share their ‘why’ and strategies for reducing carbon emissions.
“Across the Greater Whitsunday region, mining is the largest exporter, generating regional exports estimated at $43.475 billion and it is also the largest employment sector supporting more than 18,000 jobs.
“Decarbonisation is high on the agenda of both mining companies and government priorities, and businesses need to be prepared for the changing landscape,” Ms Porter said
Some of the event highlights include keynote addresses from BHP Vice President Climate Graham Winkelman; renowned environmentalist and post mining land revival specialist Dr Peter Whitbread and circular economy company, COREO CEO Ashleigh Morris.
Resources Centre of Excellence Chief Executive Officer Mr Steven Boxall said decarbonisation cuts right through the Australian resources sector.
“As an epicentre of mining activity, the Greater Whitsunday region will play a significant leadership role in paving a way to a low carbon future in mining.
“The program provides an opportunity for QME delegates to learn from industry leaders in mining and its supply chain about navigating the complexities of this once-in-a-lifetime industry shift.”
“That’s why we see the QME Decarbonisation Accelerated Program as a significant component of QME 2024 and we look forward to helping facilitate these important discussions in our region,” Mr Boxall said. The full day program features three sessions,
Leadership in Action: Embedding Decarbonisation across the Resources Value Chain; Beyond Extraction: Innovations in Post-Mining Land Revival and Circular Horizons : Redefining value chains for sustainable mining.
Attendees will have the opportunity to network while engaging with video content showcasing advancements in decarbonisation efforts.
By registering for this FREE event, you will enjoy a suite of showcases and conversations on global mining decarbonisation, while enjoying morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and refreshments throughout the day.
