Fortescue, in its endeavor to establish a green metal supply chain, has initiated construction at its green metal project located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The $50 million project at the Green Energy Hub in Christmas Creek is projected to yield more than 1,500 tonnes of green metal annually, starting production in 2025. By utilizing green hydrogen from Fortescue's hydrogen facilities, including Australia's largest gaseous and liquid hydrogen plant, in conjunction with an electric smelting furnace, the plant aims to manufacture high purity green metal suitable for integration into steel plants worldwide. Fortescue's Executive Chairman, Dr. Andrew Forrest, emphasized the project's significance in advancing a sustainable green metal supply chain, highlighting the potential to revolutionize the iron and steel industry's environmental impact. The deployment of renewable power sources and green hydrogen signifies a strategic shift towards creating a green industry in Australia. The Western Australia Premier, Roger Cook, commended the project for contributing to the state's trajectory in becoming a global clean energy hub and a prominent green iron producer, with hydrogen playing a vital role in decarbonizing mining activities. Fortescue's innovative approach includes the operation of a green hydrogen plant that supports various applications, from refueling hydrogen-powered coaches to powering mining equipment prototypes, aligning with the company's commitment to decarbonization and sustainable practices.
