Congratulations to STRATA Research Group | QUT Director Professor Sara Couperthwaite, who has been awarded $1,065,000 Australian Research Council Mid-Career Industry Fellowship, for the project Mineral processing in a fossil fuel free world. The project’s objective is to tackle the challenge of securing critical minerals for the energy transition amid declining fossil fuel supplies. The industry project partner is Lava Blue Limited.
“The project’s outcomes will significantly expedite mineral processing, decoupled from fossil fuels, to secure a supply of critical minerals for the energy transition, in line with the Paris Agreement’s mandate to limit global warming to 1.5 C and the International Energy Agency’s net-zero emissions by 2050 goal,” she said.
