Fortescue, under the leadership of Dr. Andrew Forrest, is working towards achieving 'Real Zero' by significantly reducing carbon emissions from its Pilbara mining operations and shipping activities in Western Australia. The company's FY23 Climate Change Report highlights the need to tackle the over 2.5 million tonnes of CO2 emitted annually from these operations and shipping processes, which amounts to around 200 million metric tons of iron ore shipped worldwide. In a move towards decarbonization, Fortescue has set a target of zero scope 3 emissions by 2040. To achieve this, the company has partnered with Bocimar to charter an ammonia-powered bulk dry goods vessel, signaling a shift away from traditional bunker oil fuel sources. The plan involves using green hydrogen derived from solar energy to produce ammonia, which will then be burned to power the bulk carrier, aiming to reduce carbon emissions significantly. The initiative marks a step towards embracing green ammonia as a sustainable shipping fuel option, with potential for wider adoption in the industry. While there are challenges and risks associated with green ammonia production, the move is seen as a positive development in the quest for decarbonizing the maritime sector. Companies like Fortescue and Bocimar are at the forefront of promoting green ammonia as a viable solution to reduce carbon emissions in shipping, aligning with global goals for zero lifecycle emissions by 2050.
