Pilbara Clean Fuels (PCF) plans a groundbreaking LNG production plant at Port Hedland, poised to yield 500,000 mt/year. Positioned in Western Australia, the Port of Hedland reigns as the globe’s foremost iron ore export center.
Fuel Innovations
The visionary project aims to convert pipeline natural gas into LNG, catering specifically to dry-bulk iron ore carriers plying between the Pilbara and Asia.
Oceania and Kanfer Shipping collaborate for LNG bunkering at Hedland. Estimated 1 million mt/year LNG demand by 2030. RINA to design an innovative low-carbon LNG marine fuel system.
Emission Reduction
The collaboration of the three entities will provide a comprehensive approach to the project and will “maximize the emissions reduction effort,” RINA’s marine consulting executive vice president Massimo Volta said.
The project will supply LNG as a marine fuel “for the first time available on-route to the Australia – Asia iron ore shipping fleets,” Oceania’s managing director Nick Bentley said.
Port Hedland aims for eco-friendly shipping via LNG infrastructure. Although reducing CO2, LNG’s methane impact raises concerns. Port explores Yara Clean Ammonia study for alternative bunkering.
