FPR Energy – Demonstration Plant Tour, Newcastle

Please note: This event is part of the International Mining and Resources Conference + Expo (IMARC).

Event type: Site Visit

Fri 30, Oct - 09:00am - 05:00pm

Return transport: ICC Sydney → FPR Energy, Newcastle

Depart at 9:00 am from ICC Sydney, returning 5:00 pm 

Spend a day at FPR Energy’s demonstration plant and see next-generation zero carbon heat and energy storage in operation. FPR’s particle-based concentrated solar thermal (CST) platform delivers industrial grade heat, while its electric thermal energy storage system (E-TES) system will store energy as heat for dispatch as high-grade steam on demand – a combination aimed squarely at decarbonising mining and heavy industry. FPR counts CSIRO, RFC Ambrian and Osaka Gas among its founding shareholders.

The Newcastle site is where the technology is proven at scale, and this visit is a rare chance to see a demonstration of the technology and speak with the people building it.

Why attend?

For Mining, Industrial & Energy Companies: See how FPR’s unique particle-based CST and E-TES systems can supply reliable, low-emissions process heat and firmed power – and where it fits in your decarbonisation pathway.

For Investors: Meet the FPR team and assess the technology, the demonstration milestones and the commercial trajectory of the company.

For Strategic Partners: Explore deployment, offtake and partnership opportunities alongside an existing base of strategic industrial backers.
