The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) will invest up to $45 million in our Pilbara Solar Innovation Hub. ☀ This first-of-its-kind initiative will trial up to 10 innovations across Fortescue’s solar portfolio, including automation and modular solar solutions, to reduce costs, improve safety and accelerate Australia’s transition to green energy. Learnings will be shared with ARENA and industry, ensuring the benefits extend beyond Fortescue’s operations to the wider renewable energy commun

In a world first, we’re partnering with Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and Sumitomo Corporation Group to build a hydrogen pilot plant to trial reducing the carbon intensity of alumina production at our Yarwun Alumina Refinery in Queensland, Australia. It’s an important step in testing whether hydrogen could replace natural gas in our alumina refineries. If the trial is successful and a decision is made to convert the entire Yarwun plant to use green hydrogen, we could reduce emission
