Resourceful, April 2026
From decarbonising heavy industry to powering batteries, critical minerals are central to Australia’s clean energy future. In this issue, we explore how green metals could help transform steelmaking, why graphite is emerging as one of the most strategically important materials of the energy transition and how Australian SMEs can tap into new opportunities through CSIRO’s Graphite Research and Development Grant. Together, these stories highlight the science, innovation and collaboration needed to build resilient, low emissions supply chains. It’s all about turning world class science into commercial advantage, right here at home.
