Coal has been mined here for more than 200 years, providing generations of people with good livelihoods and lives.

Key Points: 
  • Coal has been mined here for more than 200 years, providing generations of people with good livelihoods and lives.
  • The Hunter is developing a clean manufacturing precinct, and state and federal governments are investing heavily in the effort.
  • Even in the Hunter, with its long fossil fuel history, change is in the air.
  • The road is long and time is short, but our pace is quickening.
  • Last week, the US Treasury advised that financial institutions’ net zero plans should be in line with a 1.5℃ pathway.
  • The progress in technology in that time demonstrated potential to bring emissions to net zero over a decade faster than previously shown.
  • With a clear view of what is needed to bring homes to net zero, other states and the federal government can follow its lead.
  • The Net Zero Authority – created in July to help “seize the opportunities of Australia’s net zero transformation” – is the layer of connective tissue that will help these precincts succeed.

TEANECK, N.J., Feb. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Cognizant has extended its relationship with Orica, a leading manufacturer of commercial explosives and innovative blasting systems, to deliver an ESG data strategy and a digital platform, through agile methods, that provides real-time reporting and forecasting of scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The project is a key component of Orica's Net Zero strategy, specifically its AUD37 million (USD27 million) Kooragang Island Decarbonization Project.

Key Points: 
  • As part of the agreement, Cognizant will leverage Orica's existing technology investments, specifically its Microsoft Azure data lake, and provide Orica with a single ESG data platform.
  • This platform is expected to capture and curate Orica's GHG emissions data, including structured, unstructured and real-time data, with the goal of enabling Orica to monitor, report and forecast its GHG emissions reductions and track the origination of Australian Carbon Credit Units.
  • As a major supplier to mining and construction companies, Orica also has an important role to play in reducing overall greenhouse gas emissions," said Chris Crozier, Chief Information Officer, Orica.
  • Growing numbers of customers, investors, regulators, and governmental bodies now expect corporations to make measurable progress toward reducing their greenhouse gas emissions," said Jonathan Smith, Sustainability Lead, ANZ, Cognizant.
