Fortescue

Following the recent global launch of the world’s first hydrogen-powered motorsport series, Extreme H - the championship debuted its groundbreaking new hydrogen challenger last weekend.   The series’ hydrogen race car, the ‘Pioneer 25’, was tested publicly on a championship course for the first time at the Extreme E’s 2024 Hydro X Prix, held in Scotland.   The Pioneer 25, developed by Spark Racing Technology with a 75kW hydrogen fuel cell from Symbio and rechargeable energy storage system from Fortescue Zero, promises impressive performance and sustainability. Hydrogen is a pivotal element in Fortescue's journey towards decarbonisation, and this collaboration marks a significant step forward in our commitment to a sustainable future.   Read more: https://lnkd.in/ehTG3rq5 #ExtremeH #Hydrogen #Racing #batterytechnology

We’ve extended our partnership with Liebherr Mining to develop and operationalise a fully integrated Autonomous Haulage Solution.⁠🤝    Our aim is for this to be the first AHS operating zero emissions vehicles globally and brings us closer to delivering zero emissions autonomous haul trucks to our iron ore operations.    The new AHS integrates a Fleet Management System, onboard autonomy kit for the T 264 truck, and a High Precision Machine Guidance system for loading equipment.    The Fleet Management System is designed to:    ✅ Optimise fleet utilisation  ✅ Maximise productivity  ✅ Ensure efficient consumption of fuel and energy  ✅ Reduce carbon emissions    Read more at 👉 https://fts.cu/4cMZlef Liebherr Group

Yesterday our Metals CEO Dino Otranto joined business and political leaders for the annual CEDA - Committee for Economic Development of Australia’s State of the Nation conference.    As one of the world's largest iron ore producers, we're committed to leading the charge in decarbonising heavy industry and collaborating with others for a global shift to #GreenEnergy.

"China is on a mission: last year alone, nearly one trillion US Dollars of investment went into over 350 gigawatts of solar and wind capacity into China." Fortescue Chief Executive Officer Dino Otranto on the opportunities for Australia as China works towards its own net-zero targets. #auspol #SON2024 #netzero

Celebrating Trailblazing Women in Industry🏆 Congratulations to two powerhouse members of our decarbonisation team - Sinead Booth and Sophie Davies who were recognised at the recent #WomeninIndustry awards for their significant contributions to the Australian mining and decarbonisation sectors. These awards, which celebrate excellence and innovation, highlight the impact of women breaking barriers and creating new possibilities in traditionally male-dominated industries. Sinead Booth, our Head of Decarbonisation Delivery, won the Excellence in Mining award for her role in advancing decarbonisation efforts in our Australian mining operations. She has also been instrumental in launching sustainability initiatives and pioneering programs aimed at promoting gender equity within the mining industry. Sophie Davies, our Decarb Delivery Lead, was named a finalist for Rising Star of the Year award. From leading our electric excavator project to establishing new benchmarks in Cable Management and safety practices, Sophie’s dedication and innovative spirit continue to inspire. Both Sinead and Sophie are shining examples of our Values in action, excelling at generating ideas, courage and determination.

We are honoured to announce a meaningful new partnership with Australian First Nations supplier, Ngoonee, in memory of David Armstrong, a beloved member of our Solomon Drill and Blast crew who tragically passed away following an incident on site in 2021. Founded by David’s brothers, Ngoonee will provide water carts for our Solomon operations in the Pilbara. The name Ngoonee means brother in the Noongar language, reflecting the strong family values at the heart of the business. We have worked closely with the Armstrong family on this partnership, and with support from the Indigenous Share Services Group (ISSG) under Brindabella, we are committed to ensuring this collaboration thrives.

Leading the green energy revolution begins with a bold vision and even bolder targets. Last week, we hosted China's Premier H.E. Li Qiang at our #FortescueZero Hazelmere Prototype Facility in Perth, Western Australia, where we showcased our cutting-edge technology and our ambitious vision for a sustainable future. Our mission to decarbonise our mining operations by 2030 is more than a target—it's a promise. By setting stretch targets and pushing the boundaries of what is possible, we're not only transforming our own practices but also paving the way for others to follow and redefine heavy industry. Our journey towards a sustainable future is driven by the belief that true leadership means setting the bar higher, continuously daring to innovate and always aiming for the exceptional.

The technology to revolutionise the global steel industry exists now. This week, we welcomed China’s Premier H.E. Li Qiang to tour our #FortescueZero Hazelmere Prototype Facility in Perth, Western Australia, where the Premier gained an insight into our industry-leading decarbonisation technology and received a sample of our revolutionary green iron. Green iron is the end product from processing iron ore into iron without the use of fossil fuels, and instead using only renewable energy. We're transitioning to large-scale renewable power, which will enable us to establish an Australia-China green iron metal supply chain, supplying green metal globally and helping to reduce emissions and send the skies blue in major cities. Our commitment to achieving Real Zero by 2030 and partnering with Chinese industries promises to deliver substantial economic and environmental benefits for both Australia and China and redefine global steel production.

A global commitment to human rights and security 🌍 We are proud to announce that Fortescue has recently been voted as a Full Member of the Voluntary Principles Initiative (VPI). This initiative promotes a set of internationally recognised principles which guides companies on how to better conduct their security operations while respecting human rights. Over four days in Washington DC, our Human Rights and Corporate Intelligence team attended VPI's 2024 Annual Plenary Meeting, engaging with global representatives, sharing insights and strategies to prevent human rights abuses. As a global company, it is more important than ever to ensure our business practices are ethical and safe.
