Santos, Western Australia’s largest domestic gas supplier, said on June 1 that it has entered into new gas supply agreements with Yara Pilbara Fertilisers Pty Ltd (Yara) to supply natural gas to Yara’s ammonia plant on the Burrup Peninsula in Western Australia.
Santos will supply over 120 petajoules of natural gas over five years, starting at the completion of Santos’ current agreement with Yara in 2023.
In addition to the gas supply agreement, Santos and Yara will also work together to explore decarbonization opportunities in Western Australia, including carbon capture and storage.
Santos estimates that it supplies around 40% of WA’s gas, and is also a major Asia Pacific LNG supplier.
