Fortescue

As part of our plan to decarbonise our Australian mining operations by 2030, our aerodrome at Cloudbreak (Fortescue Dave Forrest Airport) is now the FIRST in Australia to have a fully operational, solar-powered airfield lighting system. 💡 The conversion of the airfield lights to solar will reduce power generation and diesel usage on site by 20%. Plus, it makes on-site work safer for our employees by significantly reducing exposure to high voltage electrical cables. Airfield lighting at our other WA operational aerodromes will be progressively converted to solar over the next three years.

It's #WorldEnvironmentDay 🌿 World Environment Day is a global celebration promoting awareness and action for our environment. It's a reminder of the importance of preserving our planet for future generations. At its core, protection of biodiversity is the foundation of a healthy and thriving planet. In 2022, we committed to working towards a net positive impact on biodiversity, ensuring our actions outweigh our operational impacts. Our Biodiversity Strategy is our roadmap to this goal by 2030, focusing on integrating biodiversity in design, protecting and enhancing ecosystems, generating knowledge, and prioritising restoration. Our goal is to lead in biodiversity management, drive innovation, and apply science-based solutions. By partnering with government regulators, as well as First Nations and community groups, we're working towards a net positive impact by 2030.

Last week, Gladstone hosted the Horizon Hydrogen Grand Prix, bringing together over 150 students from across Central Queensland. The Grand Prix celebrates the culmination of a six-month-long school-based STEM education program delivered by Horizon Educational and CQUniversity, with teams sponsored by industry partners. The program encourages Students to collaborate with industry mentors to design, engineer and construct their very own 1:10 scale hydrogen powered cars, putting their cars to the test in a four-hour endurance race. Fortescue was the proud sponsor of Toolooa State High School – ‘Fortescue Mavericks’ for the second year, with the team of six this year achieving the ‘Team Spirit’ award.

Fortescue has secured the gold award for Sustainability at the 11th annual Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards in Manila ⭐️. This recognition recognises our significant progress in decarbonising our Pilbara mining operations and our strides towards achieving Real Zero by 2030. Accepted by Linda Lei, Fortescue’s Group Manager Sales Origination – Asia, this award is a testament to our commitment to sustainability and highlights our role not only as a leading low-cost iron ore producer, but as a pioneer in the fight against climate change.

Our Fortescue Integrated Operations Hive in Perth, WA, is buzzing with their first ever school-based trainees 🐝. In partnership with Programmed Training Services, we've recently launched a Diverse School-Based Traineeship program, offering Perth First Nations students in years 11 and 12 a chance to gain real-world experience and work towards a nationally recognised certification, while earning a part-time salary. The Hive is our state-of-the-art operations hub, which uses advanced mining technology to remotely and safely control autonomous mining equipment right across our Pilbara operations, from more than 1,500kms away.

Navigating the decarbonisation frontier. Last week Meheroop Chopra, our Head of Green Power, presented the keynote address at The Electric Mine in Perth, discussing Fortescue’s progress in electrifying our Pilbara mining fleet and integrating hydrogen to decarbonise our operations. As one of the world's largest iron ore producers, we're committed to leading the charge in decarbonising our industry and collaborating with others for a global shift to #GreenEnergy.

Driving innovation in big industry tech. This week in Perth, WA, our hydrogen-powered T 264 haul truck prototype, developed in partnership with Liebherr Group, successfully drove using hydrogen for the first time. Europa features a 1.6MWh battery - developed by Fortescue WAE - and 500 kilowatts of fuel cells, storing over 380 kilograms of liquid hydrogen. Europa will head to site in the coming weeks for further site-based testing and commissioning, bringing us one step closer to having a fleet of zero emissions haul trucks at our sites by the end of this decade.

As a global tech group on a mission to decarbonise heavy industry, it’s not just logical but imperative for us to collaborate with organisations which share our industry-leading vision and determination. That's why we are proud to be joining forces with JLR, a leading motor vehicle manufacturer transitioning to an electric-first business and aiming to become carbon net zero by 2039, to redefine the future of electric vehicles. Applying our Elysia - Battery Intelligence from Fortescue cutting edge technology to JLR's next generation EV luxury vehicles, we will be providing the technical expertise to increase electric battery longevity, safety and performance. This multi-year strategic collaboration is an exciting milestone in our journey towards a decarbonised future, showcasing the pivotal role of advanced technology in driving the evolution of electric vehicles.
