Inside Australia’s Industrial Evolution: Lessons from the Frontline of Innovation
Emily Wood | June 4, 2025
There’s no substitute for seeing industrial transformation up close. Recent EUAA industry tours with Visy, Wilson Transformers, Rio Tinto and BlueScope Steel offered exactly that—powerful, real-world insights into how leading manufacturers are adapting to a rapidly changing energy landscape.
Each visit revealed how these businesses are actively reshaping their operations to meet ambitious sustainability goals, reduce costs and emissions, and boost productivity. From cutting-edge onsite cogeneration to smart reuse of waste heat and steam, these companies are not only navigating challenges in energy markets—they’re turning them into opportunities for innovation.
While their operations differ, one message was consistent: energy-intensive businesses are finding creative, practical solutions that deliver real results. These site tours are more than just a behind-the-scenes look—they’re a platform for shared learning and collaboration across the EUAA membership.
