The southwest market consumes approximately 5 billion gallons of diesel annually in heavy-duty transport, making green hydrogen a vital player in reducing emissions in the mobility sector. 

Fortescue Executive Chair and Founder Dr. Andrew Forrest, AO, praised the US Administration’s commitment to bolstering renewable energy projects in the US. “The US has made serious strides in attracting global investment in green hydrogen and decarbonization projects, like Fortescue’s solar and wind-powered Arizona Hydrogen facility.” Dr. Forrest said.
