Australian mining giant Fortescue Metals Group has started constructing a US$50 million project in Western Australia. The project aims to harness solar PV to produce green hydrogen, which will be used to create green metals.

The Green Metal Project in the mineral-rich Pilbara region at Fortescue’s Green Energy Hub at Christmas Creek aims to produce more than 1,500 tonnes per annum of green metal, with the first production anticipated in 2025. Green metal has been identified as an economic opportunity for Western Australia, but the region requires investment in transmission infrastructure to supply green energy.
