The ESG Agenda: Meeting Carbon Emissions Target - 1 Min Podcast
LINE Hydrogen's Founder and Executive Chairman, Brendan James, discusses how they are going to meet Australia's challenging carbon emissions target.
At a glance, Australia’s ESG target seems like a challenging hill to climb. Brendan James, the founder and Executive Chairman LINE Hydrogen, debunks this theory and shares LINE’s plans to reduce carbon emissions.

Brendan James:
"So the government obviously has set some fairly strong ESG targets and carbon emission targets going forward. You can't achieve that in Australia if you don't focus on the transport network. Transport currently makes up some 20% of the CO2 emissions that we put out in Australia. And then of course on top of that and one of the projects we're looking at is the mining industry and diesel replacement in both mining and heavy industry for both power generation and in pit transportation.
In that diesel obviously produces around about 2.7 kilos of CO2 emissions per liter consumed. When you look at a double truck that's running on the highway, it's consuming around about 65 liters of diesel per a hundred kilometers that the truck travels. So, one of the, the reasons to focus on heavy transport in particular B double and larger size applications is they are, while required as part of our society, they are currently one of the biggest emitters, that we have on the road. So by applying hydrogen to replace diesel in a truck has a significant effect on emissions in Australia."
