The agreement will provide customers with the option of access to LNG fuel supply and gas-fueled transport and power generation solutions.

“The agreement between our companies will harness the combined experience and offerings of Woodside and GE, allowing customers to choose LNG as a fuel that will deliver significant cost and emissions reductions. Woodside is ideally placed to lead the transition to LNG fueling, with world-class LNG facilities in the Pilbara in close proximity to heavy industries,” Woodside CEO Peter Coleman said.

Mary Hackett, Regional Director for GE Oil & Gas ANZ/PNG agrees, saying there is a pressing opportunity to develop the LNG fuel market as a transition fuel that provides an alternate, cleaner fuel source.

“Businesses are continually under pressure to seek and adopt solutions that reduce their emissions footprint, while decreasing costs. LNG is a fuel source that is sustainable and cost effective.

“Developing new fuel technology to power industries such as marine, transportation and mining is key – and as a Digital Industrial Company that works across multiple industries and sectors, GE looks forward to working with Woodside to deliver gas technology solutions for customers,” she said.
