The inaugural Business Hunter Energy Transition Mini-Series was implemented this morning and BG&E Resources (BGER) were proud to be involved. The #energytransition is one of the most complex challenges of the modern era. However, there are a lot of innovative initiatives being embraced and new industries emerging, to help heavy-industry #decarbonise. In addition to #innovation, the other sentiment that is being fostered by many industry leaders in Newcastle and the Hunter region, is #collaboration. It sounds simple enough but it rarely occurs with the same level of goodwill and encouragement, as is occurring in this thriving regional hub. Collaboration across industry and government at a hyper-local level is vital to bringing projects from planning to FID, more rapidly. Thank you to the panelists for contributing to this Business Hunter event, your insights were invaluable. * Captain Philip Holliday (Chief Executive Officer, Port Authority of New South Wales) * Thomas Hansen (Project Director, Equinor Australia) * Paul Hastie (General Manager, Orica) * Leigh Kennedy (General Manager, Industry & Supply Chain Development Australian Hydrogen Council) * Kate Hartness (Director, ESG at BGER) - Moderator. Together, the panel explored the region’s plans to: diversify and embrace an increased number of emerging industries; accelerate the development of hydrogen and renewables; and, continue decarbonising hard-to-abate local industries. The panel also unpacked clever ways to: * reduce emissions in major infrastructure assets, such as ports; * develop NSW' first offshore wind farm in the Hunter Offshore Wind Zone; * bring an ammonia nitrate plant to market; * deploy sustainable water management; * truly integrate vertical supply chains; * power our future ports; and * navigate through the Commonwealth and the State regulatory regimes. A bright future awaits Newcastle, the Hunter and the Central Coast, and BGER is looking forward to contributing.
