About
Enabling Value from Technology. Harding Innovation Consulting brings independent, senior judgement to the capital-intensive technology decisions where the most is at stake in heavy industry. We help boards and chief engineers decide which technologies to back, and how to develop, de-risk and implement them — proving the case with structured evaluation and custom techno-economic models built in Excel and Python that are yours to open, audit and keep. Consulting-led and model-supported: experience tells us which technologies will win and where the risks hide; the models make sure the decision survives board scrutiny. Track record spans mining & mineral processing decisions (critical-minerals due diligence from mine to battery for a global automotive OEM; due diligence on novel processing projects; step-change flowsheet evaluation; data-led debottlenecking of operating plants) and value-led decarbonisation (mine-fleet and HME decarbonisation screening and roadmaps; 6+ years leading heavy-haul rail fleet decarbonisation with a costed lowest-TCO pathway to net zero; zero-emission locomotive platforms now in build for on-track trials). Peer-reviewed publications, IHHA Best Paper and AFR Sustainability Leaders winner. Full case studies, testimonials and methodology: https://hardinginnovation.com
