Fortescue plans for green energy
- Fortescue plans for green energy
Andrew Forrest’s iron ore mining giant Fortescue Metals has unveiled stunning plans to build more than 235 gigawatts (GW) of renewable capacity, mostly wind and solar, to become a supplier of green energy and hydrogen that would rival the country’s biggest oil suppliers in terms of energy produced.
Introduction
There are many and various implications of using hydrogen technology and its application in solving the problem of reducing petrol related pollutants. There are significant advantages and disadvantages of the hydrogen technology, and application to economic, environmental factors.

Advantages of hydrogen technology - economic factor
Boosting the Economy and Creating Jobs
The United States imports nearly two-thirds of its oil, accounting for 50% of our $49.9 billion trade deficit. Replacing imported oil with domestically produced hydrogen from diverse resources would allow this outflow of dollars to stay in the U.S. economy and generate jobs throughout the nation. Hydrogen from renewable resources alone could be made in all 50 states, creating local jobs in every region of the country.
Achieving International Competitiveness
Global economic leadership is becoming increasingly dependent on global technology leadership, particularly in relation to energy and the environment. FCEVs provide the potential for the United States to lead the race for energy and environmental technology innovation, but the time to act is now. Germany, Japan, and Korea are making great strides in developing FCEVs and planning for additional fueling stations. To remain competitive in the global marketplace, the United States must make a significant commitment to the continued development of FCEVs and the supporting fueling infrastructure.

Reducing Oil Imports and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Because hydrogen can be made from a variety of U.S. resources—wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, natural gas, coal, and nuclear energy—FCEVs reduce dependence on imported oil and diversify the energy sources used for transportation. According to a Massachusetts Institute of Technology study, FCEVs have “the ultimate potential to dramatically decrease greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on petroleum”— and they do so without requiring a change in driving behavior.
According to a recent news release from the National Research Council, “the public-private partnership to develop vehicles that require less petroleum-based fuel and emit fewer greenhouse gases should continue to include fuel cells and other hydrogen technologies in its research and development portfolio.”
