ARENA’s ReWired podcast is back for a new season, with ‘Aussies in the ARENA’ spotlighting the Australians turning big clean energy ideas into real-world impact. 

In this episode, host Danny Kennedy speaks about what it takes to decarbonise industry with special guests:

• Tanya Hodgson, Investment Associate Director, Heavy Industry Portfolio at ARENA
• Michael Parks, Global Director of Sustainability at Treasury Wine Estates (TWE) 

Together, they discuss why industry matters to Australia’s journey to net zero, the technologies helping reduce emissions in hard-to-abate sectors and how regional projects can create learnings that travel beyond one site.
