Rio Tinto and Fortescue mulling green hydrogen collab

In an effort to collaborate, Rio and Fortescue have agreed that their top scientists will get together and compare notes on hydrogen.

However, it is not yet apparent whether this will result in them collaborating on decarbonization projects.

Since Bart Kolodziejczyk left, Fortescue has not nominated a new chief scientist, but it is anticipated that leaders in its Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) research team will serve in that capacity.

Dr. Forrest disclosed Mr. Stausholm’s approach, which came as the FFI moved forward with a number of studies centered on green hydrogen.

Rio stated that the chief scientists of the two businesses would meet to discuss green hydrogen and that Mr. Stausholm and Dr. Forrest had spoken.

Dr. Steward stated last week that Rio did not view green hydrogen as “an energy carrier” but did see a rationale for employing it in the production of steel, iron, titanium, and in alumina refineries in opposition to Dr. Forrest’s concept for FFI.

One percent of the hydrogen produced each day is lost to the atmosphere, making it challenging to transport liquid hydrogen around the world, he said.

This indicates that burning natural gas is preferable to shipping hydrogen across the globe to be consumed later. And for this reason, we’ll manufacture hydrogen where it will be used when we think about it.

In addition, Dr. Forrest stated that CWP assets, such as solar and wind farms serving East Coast clients, were “likely to be responsible for the creation of green hydrogen through collaborating with green hydrogen producers like FFI, and not just FFI.”

Dr. Forrest reported that Mr. Stausholm had swiftly contacted him regarding Rio’s worries about transporting green hydrogen and suggested a gathering of top experts.

Dr. Forrest acknowledged that hydrogen could have a “little impact” on the environment but stated, “He was swiftly reminded that green hydrogen is not a greenhouse gas.”

“But to claim the thief is doing a good job while condemning the policeman for defending the property is absurd. Rio Tinto, like every other ethical mining firm in the world, is aware that the world must transition to green energy and that it must stop using fossil fuels.

“Some scientists claim that it is more difficult than for other scientists, but I can assure you that we are just getting started.

We are very collaborative with Rio, so we want to be sure that our top scientists are singing from the same book.
