Iron ore billionaire Andrew Forrest has revealed Fortescue's plan to completely eliminate fossil fuels from its operations by 2030, setting a more aggressive target than the commonly adopted 'net zero by 2050.' Despite skepticism about achieving these goals, Forrest presented a detailed 90-page document outlining the transition at a UN event. He criticized 'Net Zero 2050' as inadequate and stressed the importance of immediate action towards 'real zero' emissions. The plan involves replacing heavy mining equipment with electric alternatives, investing in solar and wind projects, and transitioning to electric trains. Forrest's push for decarbonisation has influenced competitors like Rio Tinto and BHP to follow suit. Additionally, he calls for redirecting fossil fuel subsidies to support green initiatives. By showcasing that sustainability can be profitable, Forrest aims to accelerate the industry's transition to renewable energy sources.
