Industrial decarbonisation: Achieving bankable first-of-a-kind projects
Panel with investors and project leads who've actually funded hard-to-decarbonise industries — real talk on making climate tech bankable.
A panel discussion examining the challenges and opportunities for financing first-of-a-kind industrial decarbonisation projects in Australia, particularly focusing on heavy industry emissions reduction. The speakers explore the barriers to financial close such as off-take agreements and financing structures, compare Australian approaches to global examples, and discuss how policy and finance mechanisms can enable these projects to reach committed capital. The session addresses risk allocation, public finance strategies, and the practical conditions needed to scale industrial decarbonisation both domestically and internationally.
