Data Centres in the Energy Transition: Balancing Demand and Circular Innovation– Technology & Innovation Forum
The global booming data centre market brings both challenges and opportunities. Their constant, high-volume energy demand strains networks, yet their scale opens pathways for circular innovation, from waste heat recovery to grid services. This session explores how the sector can balance reliability with sustainability to become an enabler of the energy transition.

Renewables, Regions and Circular Value Chains – Technology & Innovation Forum
Renewable energy projects don’t just power the grid, they can empower communities. This panel explores how community engagement and circular practices in renewables create lasting benefits for regional areas, from new industries and jobs to environmental stewardship and stronger local economies.

Managing Hybrid Energy Systems in Remote and High-Demand Industrial Sites – Technology & Innovation Forum
Discover how hybrid systems—solar, wind, batteries, and backup generation—combined with AI-driven optimisation can boost performance, cut emissions, and ensure reliable energy in remote, high-demand industrial operations. Practical insights on technology, system design, and long-term strategy for operators.

CCS from Concept to Reality – Building Shared Infrastructure and National Strategy – Subsea & Energy Transition Forum
Scaling CCS in Australia will require more than technology — it demands shared infrastructure, collaboration, and national strategy. This panel examines lessons from early projects, the role of government and industry, and how collective approaches can turn CCS ambition into large-scale reality.
