The High Temperature Minerals Processing (HiTeMP) Forum brings together world-leading researchers, industry leaders and government agencies to accelerate the transition to net-zero emissions from high-temperature manufacturing, including iron, steel, cement and aluminium production.

Technology-neutral in approach, the HiTeMP Forum explores electrification, hydrogen, alternative fuels, net-zero heat and carbon capture as complementary pathways to decarbonisation. It identifies emerging opportunities from the low-carbon transition, particularly for nations with coincident resources of clean energy and minerals.

Through global engagement with key stakeholders, the HiTeMP Forum shares current and emerging exemplars in technology development, policy and markets to fosters informed dialogue and shape the future of these energy-intensive industries.

 HiTeMP Strategic Objectives

• Identify leading exemplars and practical pathways towards net zero-carbon production in high-temperature industries, including cement and lime, iron and steel, and alumina, aluminium and other non-ferrous metals.
• Advance state-of-the-art and emerging opportunities to embed circular economy principles across heavy industry.
• Highlight priority opportunities to accelerate the development of net-zero energy and fuel infrastructure for industrial use.
• Promote best practice models for industrial hubs that reduce the cost and risk of the net-zero transition.
• Strengthen collaboration and international partnerships through knowledge-sharing, innovation ecosystems, new business and market models, and supportive policy and regulatory frameworks.
• Define priority next steps for the sector, including key enablers, pilot projects and demonstration activities needed to de-risk future investment.
