The panel is a commitment under the Future Made in Australia agenda to support investment in green metals and help the industry decarbonise iron, steel, alumina and aluminium. 

The panel members will give strategic advice on opportunities for a sustainable green metals industry.

Australia has the potential to become one of the lowest-cost producers of green metals in the world. To remain competitive we must support our iron, steel, alumina and aluminium industries to move toward sustainable manufacturing to achieve our net zero targets. We aim to position Australia as a world leader in green metals manufacturing. 

The advisory panel has 7 members, each bringing a wealth of experience and knowledge about the industry. The panel members are:

  • Mark Cain
  • Paul Farrow
  • Paul Howes
  • Marghanita Johnson
  • Steve Murphy 
  • Jenny Selway
  • Rebecca Tomkinson.

The panel’s insights will also help inform our department's Industrial Net Zero Sector Plan.   

The panel is a temporary, independent group. It is not a decision-making panel and has no governing legislation.
