06:35 AM EDT, 09/25/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Woodside Energy ( WDS ) said Thursday it has signed a memorandum of understanding with Japan Suiso Energy and Kansai Electric Power to develop a liquid hydrogen supply chain between Australia and Japan.

The plan involves transporting liquid hydrogen produced at Woodside's proposed H2Perth Project in Western Australia by liquid hydrogen carriers to terminals in Japan.

The H2Perth facility, to be located in Perth's Rockingham and Kwinana Industrial Zones, will produce hydrogen through natural gas reforming. Woodside said it aims for the facility to achieve net zero Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions from the start of operations through carbon capture and storage and the use of carbon credits as needed.
