Our third National Action Plan insights paper, Powering Up Western Australia.
Six decades ago, Western Australia built the world's largest iron ore industry. Now it has the opportunity to build on that legacy, establishing a future-proof industry in green metals, critical minerals and clean technology manufacturing, backed by renewable energy generation and storage. Western Australian regions are where this opportunity will be won or lost. With skilled workforces, and established infrastructure, these regions are critical to decarbonising existing industries.

Our new insights paper, Powering Up Gladstone, evaluates the region's capacity for clean industry.
Gladstone has everything it needs to lead Australia's clean industrial future: a proud industrial heritage, world-class port, and skilled workforce ready to build what the world needs next. But progress is stalled by a coordination crisis. Projects are struggling to get off the ground, transmission is uncertain, and policy signals remain mixed. This patchwork approach risks deterring investment and undermining the region’s competitiveness.

Our research, engagement and communications has led real-world policy and industry change.
Our team went to Latrobe Valley to check out all the amazing cleantech developments happening right now. Victorian companies are already producing heatpumps, key infrastructure and providing supply-chain services for our offshore wind projects.
The world’s clean technology future can be made in Australia. Make it Here: Building Australia's Clean Industrial Future shows that if we take bold action to boost Australian manufacturing capabilities and grow five onshore cleantech supply chains, $215 billion in cumulative revenue and up to 53,000 additional ongoing jobs could be created by 2035.
We had the privilege of attending this year’s Budget lock-up representing BZE as one of a handful of environmental NGOs to be invited to this exclusive preview of the Budget. We saw some of our recommendations reflected in the initiatives and policies announced, even though some areas fell short of the scale of investment needed.
Senior Project Manager Dr Heidi Edmonds represented Beyond Zero Emissions at the Senate Inquiry into the Net Zero Economy Authority Bill. Dr Edmonds spoke about how the NZEA will support workers and business in our regional industrial heartlands such as Gladstone by facilitating investment in the infrastructure and industry that is necessary for the transition.
