Working together with Plug Power, we can create this future.” “We have enough solar and wind in Australia to power many countries of the world. “We need solar panels, wind towers, and electrolysers in such scale that we need to produce them where we use them – including in Australia,” FFI chief executive officer Julie Shuttleworth said. FFI has also announced plans to develop a 1 GW solar PV module manufacturing plant. The Queensland plant will manufacture not only large-scale proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysers, but also cabling and wind turbines to drive production of green hydrogen for global markets. The $115 million manufacturing facility, to be built in Aldoga, west of Gladstone, was announced earlier this week as part of FFI’s bold renewable energy ambitions, which include establishing a global portfolio of green hydrogen and green ammonia operations with an initial plan to produce 15 million tonnes per annum of green hydrogen by 2030. Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) and Plug Power have signed a letter of intent to create a 50-50 joint venture to build a ‘Gigafactory’ in Queensland, aiming to manufacture 2 GW of hydrogen electrolysers annually, with the ability to expand into fuel cell and hydrogen-related refuelling and storage infrastructure.
