WA Leads Global Energy Transition

Western Australia’s decarbonisation journey took centre stage at Australia Energy Week during Expo 2025 Osaka, where a dynamic panel explored the state’s strategic role in the global energy transition.

The session featured key voices from industry and government, including Isaac Hinton (InterContinental Energy), Samuel McSkimming (Pilbara Ports), WA Minister for Mines and Petroleum the Hon David Michael MLA, and Laurent Trost (Yara Pilbara). Together, they highlighted WA’s strengths in delivering large-scale energy projects, its strategic location, geological advantages, and strong government support.

The discussion emphasised the importance of international collaboration in achieving clean energy goals. WA’s pipeline of major projects—spanning hydrogen, ammonia, critical minerals, and renewable infrastructure—demonstrates its readiness to support global decarbonisation efforts.
Key highlights included:

• Pilbara Ports’ Clean Fuel Bunkering Hub, transforming world-class port facilities to support green shipping corridors between Australia and Japan.
• Yara Pilbara’s Yuri Renewable Hydrogen Project, showcasing WA’s ability to scale cutting-edge decarbonisation technologies.
• InterContinental Energy’s Renewable Energy Hubs, among the largest globally, reinforcing WA’s leadership in clean energy innovation.

WA’s proven track record and collaborative spirit position it as a key player in shaping a sustainable energy future.
