Western Australia (WA) stands out for its increasing gas consumption, primarily fueled by industrial sectors like LNG processing, electricity generation, alumina refining, and ammonia production. Despite this trend, a new report by IEEFA highlights the potential for WA to reduce its gas usage significantly through the adoption of emerging technologies and renewable energy sources. The state's heavy reliance on gas, especially in LNG processing, could face challenges with tightening supply and rising prices. The report suggests that transitioning to green hydrogen, particularly in industries like ammonia production, could offer a feasible solution to lower gas demand and emissions. Additionally, electrification through technologies like electric turbines and mechanical vapour recompression in alumina refining presents opportunities to transform these industries. IEEFA proposes focused actions for WA to accelerate its energy transition, including creating a roadmap with specific reduction targets, mandating renewable energy for new projects, and supporting the electrification of gas-heavy industries. By embracing green energy solutions and reducing gas dependency, Western Australia could position itself as a leader in the global energy transition, ensuring competitiveness in emerging markets like green iron and steel production.
