Case Study | The Methane Pathway Applied to the Pilbara–Asia Dry Bulk Trade Route
- This session will explore the practical application of the methane pathway to the Pilbara-to-Asia dry bulk trade corridor, highlighting the technical, logistical, and commercial implications of deploying LNG and its derivatives across this high-volume route. Drawing from recent analysis and stakeholder dialogue, the session will address:
- Evaluating the Pilbara region’s potential as a methane-based bunkering and fuel production hub
- Assessing emissions reduction potential and regulatory alignment for dry bulk operators on the Asia route
- Identifying enablers and challenges in applying LNG, bio-LNG, and synthetic LNG to long-haul dry bulk operations
- Understanding how this case study fits within the broader energy transition strategies of Australia and Asia-Pacific
3:50 pm - 4:20 pm
