A leap forward in mining practices is essential for the sector to achieve net-zero targets, participate in certified green product markets, and sustainably meet projected 20-40-fold increases in critical minerals demand. This Hub’s coordinated agenda for sector transformation aims to deliver next-generation mining methods (zero-waste, zero-emission, zero-human-entry) for extracting critical minerals and strategic materials. Advanced machinery guided by integrated digital systems will minimise emissions and environmental disturbance and dramatically reduce the volume of mine waste for challenging deposits. National benefits include value-adding exports, competitive advantage in the global low-carbon economy, and improved sector resilience.",5086484.0,https://dataportal.arc.gov.au/NCGP/Web/Grant/Grant/IH250100007,IH250100007 — The University of New South Wales IH250100003,University of Technology Sydney,Prof Jie Lu,"ARC Research Hub in Responsible AI for a Sustainable Grain Industry. This hub aims to revolutionise Australia’s grain industry by developing innovative responsible AI (RAI) technologies that drive sustainable growth. Through RAI, sustainable grain practices, biophotonics, and digital carbon management, the hub will address current challenges while generating new knowledge and opportunities. Key outcomes include cutting-edge RAI technologies tailored for grain applications, leading to reduced fertiliser and diesel use, lower carbon emissions, enhanced carbon sequestration, and better climate adaptation. These innovations will transform the grain industry into a thriving, sustainable sector that support international carbon mitigation commitments and positions Australia as a global leader in grain production.",5086484.0,https://dataportal.arc.gov.au/NCGP/Web/Grant/Grant/IH250100003,IH250100003 — University of Technology Sydney IC250100025,The University of Queensland,Prof Steven Kenway,"ARC Training Centre for Climate-Resilient Water. The Centre aims to skill people, and organisations to make water supply more climate-resilient to new drought, flood and quality challenges. It uses advanced monitoring, adaptive management, and multi-functional precinct design. Creating new collaborative governance approaches, and wide stakeholder and community support, is key to success. Improved economic and energy security, strengthened decision-making, and greater use of recycling and stormwater are key expected outcomes supported by an industry-engaged process and a legacy Knowledge and Training Bank.
