Fortescue chairman Andrew Forrest said the new decarbonisation strategy has “set an example that a post-fossil fuel era is good commercial common sense.” (AP)Australian iron ore miner Fortescue Metals Group announced on Tuesday a USD 6.2 billion plan to eliminate fossil fuels and carbon emissions from its operations by the end of the decade.
The world’s fourth-largest iron ore producer expects to save USD 818 million a year from 2030 based on current prices of diesel, gas and carbon credits, said a Fortescue statement to the Australian Securities Exchange.
Most of the spending is planned for 2024-28. It includes an additional 2-to-3 gigawatts of renewable energy generation and battery storage as well as a green mining fleet of trucks and trains.
The target by 2030 of “real zero terrestrial emissions” — no fossil fuels and with only temporary, if any, offsets — would prevent 3 million metric tons (3.3 million U.S. tons) of carbon dioxide-equivalent greenhouse gas emissions a year.
Fortescue is a member of the First Movers Coalition, a platform launched by the U.S. State Department and the World Economic Forum last year for companies to harness their buying power and supply chains to nurture early markets for innovative clean energy technologies.
