Course information

This two-day course is designed and delivered by Australian National University (ANU) and HILT CRC experts for industry professionals seeking to understand and engage with the policy frameworks, certification schemes and market instruments enabling the low-carbon transition in heavy industry sectors.

Participants will explore how industrial decarbonisation can be accelerated through industrial policies, Guarantee of Origin (GO) schemes, Embedded Emissions Frameworks (EEFs), demand-pull and supply-push instruments, and system design considerations for emissions transparency and accountability.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• identify key policy instruments and frameworks enabling industrial decarbonisation
• understand how GO schemes and EEFs contribute to emissions transparency
• demonstrate understanding of policy drivers and align industry’s decarbonisation strategies with emerging regulatory and market signals
• navigate interoperability challenges and recommend harmonisation strategies.
