Christmas Creek Green Metal Project

Fortescue has taken a final investment decision and begun construction of its Green Metal Project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

Located at the Green Energy Hub at Christmas Creek, the US$50 million project is expected to produce more than 1,500 tonnes per annum of green iron metal, with first production anticipated in 2025.

The plant will use green hydrogen produced at Fortescue’s gaseous and liquid hydrogen facility, the largest of its kind in Australia, together with an electric smelting furnace to produce high purity green metal.
