The ARC Research Hub for Smart Process Design and Control unites Australia’s top universities, leading mining and steel companies, and international researchers to tackle one of the world’s most urgent challenges: reducing emissions in the steel industry. By combining advanced physics-based modelling with cutting-edge AI, the Hub will transform mineral and metallurgical processes, strengthen Australia’s role as a key global resource supplier, and build national and international leadership in creating a sustainable, low-carbon future.
