Miners join forces on hydrogen to decarbonise operations
Mining majors BHP, Fortescue, Anglo American and consulting engineering group Hatch have formed a Green Hydrogen Consortium to jointly accelerate decarbonisation within their global operations.
The goal of the consortium is to identify opportunities to develop green hydrogen technologies for the resources sector and other heavy industries, and to provide a mechanism for suppliers and operators to contribute to and engage with these development activities.
The proposed activities include research, technology and supply chain development, and piloting green hydrogen technologies to derisk and accelerate the technologies.
“The companies involved in the consortium are committed to reducing their respective operational greenhouse-gas emissions and working collaboratively with others, including customers and suppliers, to find technological or other innovative solutions for the emissions associated with the use of their products and their supply chain,” the organisations said in a statement.
Western Australian Minister for Regional Development Alannah MacTiernan last week welcomed the collaboration, saying it would cement the state’s credentials as a green hydrogen innovator and producer.
“Green hydrogen provides an opportunity to reduce diesel consumption and decarbonise mine site operations, with potential for fuel cells to power fixed and mobile plants, mining vehicles and feedstock.”
