Helping industry shape a more sustainable future

21 June 2022

The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) has become a founding partner in ESTAINIUM, the first open, global network aiming to develop international standards for industry to reduce its carbon footprint and mitigate negative impacts.

ESTAINIUM will be at the forefront of research and technology initiatives for a more sustainable industry sector, working with people, businesses and corporations to meet current and future climate challenges.

“Industry accounts for about a third of all greenhouse gas emissions,” said Distinguished Professor Peter Ralph, Director of the UTS Climate Change Cluster.

“By becoming a founding member of ESTAINIUM, UTS is showing leadership on a global strategy to decarbonise industry and shape a more sustainable future for our planet.”

Founding members of ESTAINIUM include German manufacturing and tech giants Siemens and Merck, and Japanese information technology powerhouse, NTT Data.

Australia has committed to net zero by 2050 and industry will need guidance to meet that target. UTS, as part of this global network, can and will play a critical role in moving forward in the country’s decarbonisation strategy.

Professor Jochen Deuse

UTS Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) Professor Kate McGrath said ESTAINIUM will provide a global platform for UTS research and knowledge.

“UTS is a leader in the areas of advanced manufacturing and climate change mitigation research.  This partnership will ensure that UTS expertise helps build the pathway towards a CO2-neutral manufacturing industry in a low-carbon circular economy.”

ESTAINIUM will leverage its three pillars, Technology and Infrastructure, Standards and Norms, and Carbon Capture, Use, Storage and Offsets, to provide a more accurate account of the quantity and quality of emissions and resources used along industry’s entire supply chain.

This will enable greater awareness for industry of its carbon footprint, and enable consumers to choose their products based on their carbon footprint.

“Australia has committed to net zero by 2050 and industry will need guidance to meet that target.  UTS, as part of this global network, can and will play a critical role in moving forward in the country’s decarbonisation strategy,” said Jochen Deuse, UTS Professor for Advanced Manufacturing.

“It’s important for Australian research, Australian ingenuity to be represented in a network like ESTAINIUM because Australians ultimately stand to benefit from creating a more sustainable future.”
