Insights into decarbonising contruction in action
23 June @ 12:30 pm - 2:00 pm AEST
$85.00
The construction sector is projected to contribute around one-third of Australia’s total emissions, and that share is continuing to grow. As pressure increases to deliver lower-carbon projects, accelerating the adoption of low-emission construction practices has become critical. While many of the technologies and approaches needed to reduce site emissions already exist, uptake is often slowed by practical, financial, and knowledge barriers.
This session explores what decarbonising construction sites looks like in practice today, how solutions are being deployed at scale, and how organisations are measuring, evaluating, and justifying the impact of change as we seek to deliver on our sustainability goals. It also considers emerging developments in electric equipment and renewable diesel, and what they mean for future site operations.
What you will learn
• How low-emission construction practices are being implemented on live projects today, including real-world challenges, constraints, and successes across different site types.
• The range of practical solutions available to reduce construction emissions, including electrified plant and equipment, hybrid systems, and alternative fuels such as renewable diesel.
• How current and emerging electric equipment can meet operational requirements, including charging infrastructure, battery compatibility, and expected future developments in the market.
• How to measure construction-related emissions and assess the financial implications of low-emission site operations, including approaches used to support investment decisions and track performance improvements.
Who this course is for
This course is designed for construction and project professionals, developers, contractors, and consultants involved in delivering or influencing project outcomes, as well as sustainability practitioners seeking practical insight into emissions reduction, technology adoption, and cost implications in construction site operations.
