Online/Australia – HiTeMP-3 Forum
The third international High Temperature Minerals Processing (HiTeMP) Forum, run by the University of Adelaide’s Centre for Energy Technology (CET), the Heavy Industry Low-Carbon Transition (HILT) CRC and Mission Innovation's Net Zero Industry (NZI) Mission, will take place online and in Adelaide, Australia on 26th-28th September 2022.
The HiTeMP Forum engages key stakeholder groups to develop synthesized perspectives of emerging drivers, technologies and opportunities to further decarbonize energy-intensive, high temperature process industries.
The organizers estimate that 250 leading specialists from around the world in industry, research and government will gather to identify the most prospective pathways to decarbonize the major high temperature industrial processes on which our global economy depends. They also expect it to build on the outcomes of the previous forums and identify the next steps for decarbonizing heavy industry.
Registration for the event is now open here, and virtual attendance options are available.
