Jack Colreavy:

 "There's a huge manufacturing opportunity for Australia due to so much of the raw materials that the earth needs for manufacturing coming from our continent. None more so than iron ore, Australia's the largest exporter of iron ore in the world, and currently, it mainly goes to China to be smelted at steel.
With the advent of renewable energy technology, there is an opportunity to bring that manufacturing back home to Australia through the advent of green steel. Now we need two things in order for that to come to fruition; first one being magnetite iron ore. at the moment, most iron ore is hematite iron ore, and so we going to need to develop these new deposits of magnetite in order to provide the feedstock for these green steel smelters, the second one being renewable energy generation. It's estimated that we need in the realm of 30 billion plus in investment in renewable energy, in order to provide the power requirements that steel needs.
