Event supporting sponsor Aurecon

Aurecon is an international engineering, design and advisory company, but not as you know it. We’ve re-imagined engineering. A market leader in low-carbon and zero-carbon energy, Aurecon provides innovative, high-value technical and advisory services in the transition to net zero.

Hydrogen is one of the enablers for the global transition to net zero and Aurecon is working with public and private sector clients to develop hydrogen as a future energy or fuel technology to unlock the benefits the technology presents for a zero-carbon emissions future, with long-term benefits for industry and communities.

We help clients to remain at the forefront of the transition to net zero by using design-led thinking to articulate visions, explore scenarios and map out pathways to deal with the risks and opportunities. As a leader in the future energy value chain from generation, storage, network transmission and distribution through to end uses such as transport and export, Aurecon has the ability to connect strategy to execution and implementation.

To transition to net zero, global economies will need to navigate away from how they currently operate industrially, towards a net zero model, and Aurecon is helping clients to challenge energy, process, material and mobility decisions across every industry.

Decarbonisation is a long-term strategy and Aurecon works with clients across the transport, power and industry (manufacturing, mining, and agriculture) sectors helping them to shape how they set up their businesses to reduce emissions, starting with a strategic assessment of their climate risk and understanding what they are wanting to achieve and why.

We are successfully working with hard-to-abate industry clients to help them navigate the technical as well as strategic challenges, developing scenarios, setting targets, identifying the right investments and technologies and implementing the right projects and pathways. Government and industry has a significant impact to make collectively and we want to help them achieve this.

about CEDA

CEDA – the Committee for Economic Development of Australia – is an independent, membership-based think tank. Through independent research and frank debate, we influence policy and collaborate to disrupt for good. CEDA is focused on tackling five critical questions:

• How can Australia develop and grow a more dynamic economy?

• How can we build vibrant Australian communities?

• How can Australia develop leading workforces and workplaces?

• How can Australia leverage the benefits of technology?

• How can Australia achieve climate resilience and regain our energy advantage?

CEDA has more than 620 members from a broad cross-section of industry, government, community and academia. Our members span every state and territory. CEDA was founded in 1960 by leading economist Sir Douglas Copland. His legacy of applying economic analysis to practical problems to aid the development of Australia continues to drive our work today.
