Reducing emissions for hard to abate industries
Date and Time: 13 - 15 October 2026 (12:30pm - 12:00am)
Location: Sydney
A decade of efficiency gains, fuel switching, and operational optimisation has brought Australian industry to the edge of the hard problem. The emissions that remain are structural. Eliminating them requires capital, policy architecture, and market conditions that don’t yet exist at scale.
Industrial Net Zero 2026 is about building them.
Some organisations are making genuine progress. Others have quietly walked back their commitments, not out of bad faith, but because the enabling conditions simply aren’t there yet. Both realities deserve an honest conversation.
Now in its fifth year, the summit brings together industrial operators, government, researchers, and capital providers to ask the harder question: how do we align the right conditions, policy, finance, technology, and institutional cooperation, to help hard to abate sectors decarbonise today. This is the forum where that work begins.
