Wednesday 29 April 2026 | 1-2pm AEDT

Simon Nicholas and Soroush Basirat and Lachlan Wright

Join IEEFA Australia analysts Simon Nicholas, Soroush Basirat and Lachlan Wright as they examine:

  • Global market developments in iron and steel;
  • Emerging demand for green iron; and,
  • What this means for Australia.

Australia is facing growing competition in the shift to low-emissions iron and steel production:

  • Early green hydrogen-based projects are emerging as the global benchmark ;
  • Australia continues to focus on gas-led pathways; and,
  • Countries such as Oman are advancing green hydrogen use and expanding DR-grade iron ore supply.

Australia has long been a major exporter of iron ore. But as global markets shift towards lower-emissions production, the opportunity is moving up the value chain. 

Our webinar unpacks whether Australia is keeping pace – or missing out.
