Tenova joins australian research consortium on decarbonisation

Metallurgical plant manufacturer Tenova has officially joined the Heavy Industry Low-carbon Transition Cooperative Research Centre (HILT CRC), a leading research consortium dedicated to accelerating the decarbonization of heavy industry.

Established in 2021 and operating as a registered organization in Australia, Heavy Industry Low-carbon Transition Cooperative Research Centre (HILT CRC) brings together heavy-industry companies, research institutes, and the Australian Government to move breakthrough projects from laboratory research to pilot-scale implementation. Its mission is to enable practical and scalable pathways toward low-emission industrial production.

Launch of the Green Metals Innovation Network

In 2025, CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) and HILT CRC announced the creation of the Green Metals Innovation Network, an initiative aimed at accelerating the development of low-emission metal production. According to Tenova, this milestone further highlights the strategic relevance of HILT CRC within the global sustainability landscape.
Following discussions with the HILT partnership team to better understand collaboration models, membership requirements, and the potential value for Tenova, the company identified strong alignment with its strategic priorities. In light of the increasing interest in the Australian market - particularly in iron-ore extraction and iron and steelmaking - this partnership is expected to offer significant benefits.
Through its membership in HILT CRC, Tenova will gain access to Australia’s industrial and academic networks with opportunities to collaborate on joint research and pilot projects with leading industry players and research organizations. This is accompanied by strategic insights into Australian steel decarbonization initiatives and enabling technologies. This gives Tenova a stronger position in a market strongly committed to low-carbon transformation.
