Webinar—Australia's $400 billion green iron opportunity

Australia is uniquely positioned to become a world leader in green iron production. With soundly based policy settings and timely action, this opportunity can underpin prosperity for generations

Webinar presented on 6 June, 2025

In this first of a three-part series of webinars based on green iron in Australia, Dr Ingrid Burfurd, Carbon Pricing and Policy Lead at The Superpower Institute, provides an overview of the core economic and strategic rationale for green iron – why it matters, what’s standing in the way, and what policy support are needed to unlock the opportunity.

This webinar series is dedicated to unpacking TSI’s latest report: 'A Green Iron Plan for Australia: Securing Prosperity in a Decarbonising World' – a blueprint for how Australia can lead in the production and export of low-emissions iron, supporting a reduction in global emissions while helping industrial economies decarbonise without sacrificing growth or energy security.
