New industries & projects

The Pilbara has an industrial history in iron ore, natural gas and minerals, but also strong renewable energy resources. The net zero transition is an opportunity to decarbonise existing industry and harness the region’s renewable energy potential for new industry.

Plans are underway to help the Pilbara transition. The Western Australian Government's Pilbara Energy Transition (PET) Plan emphasises the importance of investment in common-use transmission infrastructure to enable access to renewable energy sources.

The Net Zero Economy Authority is facilitating public and private investment in net zero opportunities that will transform the Pilbara region.

Renewable Energy

The Pilbara region has access to world-leading solar resources, with high-intensity sunshine and a vast land mass.
