Fortescue has initiated the groundbreaking of the Christmas Creek Green Iron Metal Project, a pioneering endeavor in Western Australia aimed at revolutionizing the iron industry through the utilization of green hydrogen. This project signifies a crucial milestone in the journey towards establishing a green iron industry in the region. By leveraging green hydrogen, the project intends to produce high-purity pig iron that can be utilized in steel plants worldwide, with a timeline set to commence production by the end of 2025. Additionally, the Christmas Creek Renewable Hydrogen Mobility Project, supported by a grant from the Cook Government's Renewable Hydrogen Fund, is in operation, featuring hydrogen fuel-cell coaches that replace diesel coaches for crew transportation, thus contributing to the decarbonization objective set by Fortescue for 2030. Premier Roger Cook praised the efforts of Fortescue in leading the way towards decarbonization within the resources industry, emphasizing the significance of hydrogen in fostering a green iron supply chain, diminishing diesel dependency, and mitigating emissions at mining sites. This initiative underscores Western Australia's progression towards becoming a dominant force in clean energy production and a key player in the global green iron sector.
