The new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by the Pilbara Ports Authority (PPA) and the Port of Himeji aims to promote collaboration and information sharing between the two ports on renewable energy and net zero carbon emission efforts.
Premier of Western Australia, Mark McGowan attended the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Western Australia and Japan to increase renewable energy trade prospects.
The Port of Himeji, located in western Japan, has extensive trading links with Western Australia, importing Liquified Natural Gas (LNG), iron ore, oil, and salt from Pilbara ports.
"Western Australia's ports are the lifeblood of our export industries and will play a key role as we embrace new low-carbon industries and opportunities,” stated Mark McGowan. He added, "The Pilbara has enormous growth potential in renewable hydrogen, ammonia and critical minerals."
Meanwhile, in Japan, a PPA team will visit the Harima coastline area to learn more about their carbon-neutral port concept.
This MOU is expected to enhance the Sister State connection that WA and Hyogo Prefecture established in 1981.
"The McGowan Government is committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050, with PPA well positioned to provide renewable energy exports to not only Australia but across the world,” commented Rita Saffioti, minister for transport and planning in the McGowan Government.
