Fortescue, an Australian mining firm, has initiated the 'Green Metal Project' at Christmas Creek in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The project, valued at US $50 million, focuses on producing 'green' metal using renewable hydrogen. With the goal of over 1,500 tonnes of annual production by 2025, the project incorporates a green hydrogen plant, electric smelting furnace, and a green energy hub. This initiative is aimed at transforming the steel industry by significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The green hydrogen plant, claimed to be the largest in Australia, can produce 530 kg of hydrogen gas daily. It is powered partially by solar energy and includes facilities like a gaseous hydrogen refueling station for hydrogen-powered vehicles. The project also features a hydrogen liquefaction facility and storage, supporting Fortescue's zero-emission decarbonization prototypes. Fortescue's Chairman emphasized the importance of rethinking traditional iron and steel production processes to establish a new green industry in Australia. The company's commitment to sustainability is evident through its innovative approach towards mining, renewable power utilization, and green technology adoption. With a focus on building a green supply chain, Fortescue aims to leverage renewable hydrogen for various applications, including powering mining equipment and refueling vehicles. The CEO highlighted the versatility of the renewable hydrogen plant in enabling the decarbonization of mining operations and green steel production. By integrating renewable energy sources, Fortescue is setting a precedent in the industry for sustainable practices and eco-friendly initiatives.
