Refueling the Relationship: Building Australia-Japan Renewable Gas Supply Chains

  • Australia’s renewable gas market is at its very initial stages, but potential feedstocks are enormous.  Australia can scale up to become a secure, competitive supplier of renewable gas.
  • The Australian Government’s focus for clean energy, has been electrification - but is increasingly recognizing the key role renewable gas can play, and policy support is growing.
  • A key part of that support for international supply chains is certification, the government is developing a Product Guarantee of Origin for Australian renewable gas, to be compatible with international certification schemes.

Carbon-Negative by Design: Conductive Composites from Waste Tyre Pyrolysis & Biogas-Derived Graphene for Energy Storage

The Dual-Waste Valorization Model — Carbon from Two Streams
  • Biomethane (upgraded biogas) is an alternative high-value application: using biomethane
    as a carbon-rich precursor for graphene synthesis
  • Combining rCB & biogas-graphene yields a composite with high electrical conductivity, interconnected carbon network architecture & strong electrochemical performance — suitable as an electrode material in energy storage systems
  • A genuinely circular, carbon-conscious material pathway: carbon fixed from waste tyres combined with carbon fixed from biogas produces a net carbon-negative product

The “Bio-to-LNG” Advantage: Can Renewable Methane Use Today’s Gas Infrastructure?

Leveraging LNG Terminals, Shipping and Storage to Enable Global Renewable Gas Trade

 

Where It Works, Who It’s For, and What It Takes to Scale
  • Re-Grounding the bio-LNG narrative
  • Structural constraints: why bio-LNG won't scale everywhere; viable markets' key requirements
  • Maritime: a strong & defensible use case that clears above hurdles
  • Road transport: credible second pillar of demand
  • Case studies from Europe that can be borrowed in Asia
  • A near term decarbonization option that leverages existing LNG infrastructure
