Fortescue

Together, we’re leading the charge towards Real Zero through innovation, technology, and action. 🌍💡

A relationship built over decades.
A partnership built for generations.

Hear Fortescue Executive Chairman Andrew Forrest reflect on how our partnership with Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura Traditional Owners (PKKP Aboriginal Corporation) will create lasting economic opportunities and meaningful outcomes for future generations.

Earlier this week, Fortescue CEO Metals & Operations, Dino Otranto, joined Royal Flying Doctor Service WA to celebrate the transport of its 1,000th patient.

The milestone comes as Fortescue renews its support for the RFDS Fortescue Heli-Med Service for another five years. Since launching in 2022, the service has become a vital link to critical care for communities across regional and remote Western Australia.

To the pilots, paramedics, clinicians, and support crews behind every flight: thank you. 💚

Some moments are bigger than the signature. ✍️

Our Executive Chairman, Andrew Forrest, and Fortescue CEO Metals & Operations, Dino Otranto, joined Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura (PKKP) Traditional Owners to mark a new chapter in our partnership. 🤝

Under a new mining fleet arrangement, PKKP will own haul trucks and electric excavators supporting our Pilbara operations. More ownership means more opportunity for future generations.

This is the kind of long-term economic participation that helps communities build their own future.

What does an electric race car have in common with a 240-tonne haul truck? 🤔⚡

More than you might think.

The same technology developed to perform under the speed, pressure and precision of motorsport is now being applied to some of the toughest mining environments on Earth.

Soon, our first battery-electric @Liebherr T 264 haul truck will arrive on site, featuring a Fortescue Zero power system and advanced Elysia battery software designed to help accelerate the decarbonisation of mining.

If the diesel tax isn’t fixing roads, what exactly is it doing? 🤔

“The Government’s own records show it hasn’t been used for road maintenance in 15 years,” Dino Otranto, Fortescue CEO Metals & Operations, at the @FinancialReview Mining Summit.

Yet Australia’s 18 biggest mining companies are still getting billions to keep burning diesel. 

That’s why we’re investing in the technologies designed to replace diesel across our mining operations. ⚡️

[Fortescue @FortescueGlobal]

Decarbonisation isn’t waiting for the future.

It’s already here, in the dirt, on site, and running electric. ⚡
16 electric excavators and a lot of proud faces.

When the technology exists, there are no excuses.

Just smiles all round. 😀

[Fortescue @FortescueGlobal]

We want diesel incentives capped for the 18 biggest companies in mining. ⛽️

On @abcnews Four Corners, our CEO Metals & Operations Dino Otranto explains why now is the right time to start giving some of that back.

Australia’s largest miners do not need to keep receiving billions of dollars for burning diesel.

[Fortescue @FortescueGlobal]

Some say: “the technology isn’t ready yet.”

We know it is. ⚡️

You can sit and wait like them, or you can make it happen now like us. 💪

[Fortescue @FortescueGlobal]

Pilbara sun. Proven tech. No excuses. ☀️​​

Turner River solar farm is now under construction, adding 690MW of solar to our Green Grid and completing the solar power needed for our Real Zero decarbonisation plan.​

Together, our solar projects will deliver around 1.4GW of renewable energy capacity across the Pilbara.⚡️ ​

Add another 650MWh BESS at Cloudbreak, and we’re building renewable power that can be stored, firmed and used across our operations.​

The naysayers say decarbonising heavy industry can’t be done. 🤔  

That the technology isn’t ready. That mining can’t move beyond diesel.    

Really?    

Take a look at what we’re delivering in the Pilbara this year.  
✅ 370MWh BESS
✅ 290MW solar power
✅ 2 battery electric locomotives
✅ 1st battery electric haul truck
✅ 1st wind turbines
✅ 6MW fast chargers
✅ 24 electric excavators
✅ 6 electric drills
✅ Electric grader, water cart, wheel loader and dozer prototypes  

This is real projects, real equipment, and real progress. No excuses.⚡️

[Fortescue @FortescueGlobal]

They say it can’t be done.

But debate doesn’t deliver Real Zero.

While they’re doubting, we’re delivering. 
✅Scaling renewable power 
✅ Electrifying heavy industry 
✅ Eliminating fossil fuels across our operations No shortcuts.

No offsets. Just delivery.

This is Real Zero in motion. ⚡

When disruption hit, our Green Grid responded. 💪 

When bushfires hit our Pilbara transmission network and thermal generation dropped offline, our renewable energy systems did what many once believed impossible: kept our grid stable without thermal generation. ⚡

Not a pilot. Not a simulation.

Our Green Grid is proof that renewables can power heavy industry when it matters most. 💪

This is Real Zero in motion.

$2.5 billion could go a long way. But where should it go? 🤔

If the diesel fuel rebate was capped at $50 million per company, the government would save $2.5 billion next year.

That could fund:  
~22,000 teachers
~16,000 aged care places
~2,500 homes
~10 million $250 household energy rebates  

So, what’s the priority?  
Education 📚
Housing 🏠
Clean energy⚡️
Ease cost of living 💵
Reduce debt 📉  

Or, something else entirely.  

Have your say below.👇

This is what a bunch of legends look like. 💚​

From the early days to now - they’ve shaped what Fortescue is today.​
​
Congratulations to you all. 👏

[Fortescue @FortescueGlobal]

We need to clear something up.

YES - our farmers, truckies and fishermen are the backbone of this country.
NO - our proposal does not affect their diesel rebate.

It applies to the 18 biggest companies in mining only, not everyday operators.

[Fortescue @FortescueGlobal]

We're calling BS. 💩​
​
These aren’t risks. They’re excuses. Excuses that keep us locked into fossil fuels - long after better options exist.​
​
Aussies deserve better. If we can decarbonise profitably - everyone can.​
​
There's no good reason not to cap the diesel tax handout for the biggest 18 companies in mining.​

Lest we forget. 🇦🇺 🇳🇿​

At dawn across the Pilbara and beyond, our teams came together to remember.​
