Perth is the only Australian city to be admitted into the World Energy Cities Partnership, which signifies Western Australia’s continual growth as a world energy leader.

However, it’s Western Australia’s reputation as a global liquefied natural gas (LNG) hub that will bring long-term economic benefits to the state.

That’s according to WA Minister for Mines and Petroleum, and Energy Bill Johnston who spoke to organisers of the Australasian Oil & Gas Conference & Exhibition (AOG) ahead of his opening address on Wednesday March 13.

“It’s welcoming to see that the AOG has acknowledged the role that renewables will take in WA’s future,” Johnston said.

“There are opportunities to use renewables in the processing of LNG or using the gas in the production of hydrogen, which carries the promise of zero carbon emissions.

“WA is an innovation state and coupling these ideas by working collaboratively with industry, government and academia will help us to grow the sector today while planning for tomorrow.”
