    According to a report from Natural Gas World on May 27, Woodside said it is investigating the provision of approximately 50 megawatts of solar energy to the Pluto LNG facility on the Burrup Peninsula in Western Australia.


    Solar energy will be provided by the proposed Woodside Power Project, which may contain more than 210,000 solar panels.


    Meg O'Neill, Acting Chief Executive Officer of Woodside, said: "Woodside's vision is to provide large-scale renewable energy for the existing and future industries on the Burrup Peninsula.


    At the same time, Woodside is seeking to provide 50 megawatts of solar energy from the Woodside power Project to Perdaman's proposed urea facility.


    O'Neill said: "Our cooperation with Perdaman once again proves that the natural gas industry can play an important role in promoting the energy transition and achieving net zero emissions by 2050.


    The initiative will also allow Perdaman to increase ammonia production, knowing that ammonia is zero emissions when used.

    WOODSIDE PLANS SOLAR PROJECT TO POWER PLUTO LNG

    Woodside is investigating the supply of approximately 50 MW of solar energy to the Pluto LNG facility on Western Australia's Burrup Peninsula, it said on May 27.


    The solar power would be supplied from the proposed Woodside Power Project, which could comprise more than 210,000 solar panels.


    "Woodside's vision is for large-scale supply of renewable energy to existing and future industry on the Burrup Peninsula," acting CEO Meg O'Neill said.


    Meanwhile, Woodside is looking to supply a further 50 MW of solar power from the Woodside Power Project to Perdaman's proposed urea facility.


    "Our work with Perdaman is another demonstration of the important role the gas industry can play in driving the energy transition and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050," O'Neill said.


    The initiative would also allow Perdaman to increase the production of ammonia, which produces zero emissions at the point of use.


    "This exciting initiative with Woodside will further enhance the manufacturing of blue ammonia for supply to the Asian market and help position Western Australia as a first mover in implementing renewable energy in a world-scale downstream industry," Rambal said.
