Singapore | BHP’s pledge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from across its supply chain took a big, tangible step forward this week with the mining giant taking delivery of the first of five LNG-powered carriers to transport iron ore from Australia to Asia.

Over the last 12 months, BHP has signed on with some of the world’s largest steel mills to co-operate on low carbon technologies. The company believes these partnerships have helped add ballast to commercial relationships not immune to geopolitical tensions.
