Have you got your tickets for PTAANZ’s 2024 Annual Conference and Gala Dinner yet?   Don’t miss your chance to be part of the “Transport Revolution” in Sydney on 23 October.   We’re thrilled to announce another featured speaker, Dr Ben McGarry, Principal – Decarbonisation at Aurecon, this year’s Platinum Sponsor, who will explore what the transport sector can learn from other industries’ decarbonisation journeys.   The urgency of addressing climate change is only accelerating, with the need to reduce emissions touching every corner of our economy. While the electricity sector has seen unprecedented upheaval, racing ahead with solar, wind and storage wiping out the economics of fossil fuels, hard-to-abate sectors are struggling to set and deliver emissions reduction measures on meaningful timeframes.   But whatever the industry, we see the headwinds and tailwinds for carbon abatement following four themes: ✳ Race for capacity ✳ Balancing the business case ✳ Reassessing risk appetite (planning for a bumpy ride) ✳ Flexibility as a superpower.   Why should we be looking closely at smelting, haul trucks, data centres and aviation when we think about decarbonising public transport? You can find out more in Ben's enlightening presentation.   Other program highlights will include: ➡ Sally Stannard, Director-General of the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads and PTAANZ Chair, on the future of public transport. ➡ Bernt Reitan Jenssen, CEO of Ruter As, sharing lessons from the Norwegian capital region's world-leading journey with transport electrification and the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI). ➡ Tim Parker, CEO of Australia's High Speed Rail Authority (Australia), leading a panel discussion on the transformations, economic development and community impacts of high speed rail projects around the world.   Visit the website to find out more about this dynamic program and to secure your tickets: https://lnkd.in/g9pinhp2   #PTAANZ #PublicTransport #Conference #PTAANZconference #TransportRevolution #Decarbonisation #ChampionTheFuture
