Industrial Decarbonization Roadmaps for Australia, Indonesia, and Viet Nam

Climateworks Centre is implementing place-based decarbonization strategies to transition heavy industry to low-carbon energy. The program focuses on creating industrial hubs where infrastructure and investment risks are shared among government and private stakeholders. Key initiatives include the development of renewable-powered production in Gladstone, Australia, and the creation of the first industrial decarbonization roadmaps for key zones in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam, and priority sites in Indonesia.

The Gladstone case is interesting, but I want to see the actual transmission capacity numbers. Mapping energy needs is one thing, but getting the grid to handle heavy industrial electrification without massive curtailment is the real hurdle.

Agreed. The policy intent here is clear, but the implementation depends on whether these place-based hubs get specific regulatory carve-outs or subsidies to offset the initial cost of grid upgrades.

Gladstone mentions low-carbon heat solutions. That is where the actual battle is won or lost. If they can't find a viable way to replace industrial boilers, the electrification roadmap stays a theoretical exercise.

Good to see a focus on Indonesia and Viet Nam. Most of these projects fail because they ignore local industrial clusters. A place-based approach is the only way to make the finance work for smaller players.
