Andrew Forrest is all over the world looking for green hydrogen sites but ignored their own backyard in Australia. With him pegging all the land around PRL and David Frances's tongue in cheek interview, it could very well be acquired by FMG in near future.

Tiwai Point eyed up for hydrogen production

An Australian billionaire is looking at using the aluminium smelter site at Tiwai Point near Bluff for environmentally friendly hydrogen production.
The smelter is due to close in just over three years at a cost of 1000 jobs and $400 million sucked annually from the Southland economy.Dr Andrew Forrest, who founded and chairs the world's fourth-biggest iron ore producer, Fortescue Metals Group, has met with Southland councils and been in talks with government officials about fitting Tiwai Point into his ambitious global plans."The Southland region and its renewable energy potential makes it an exciting opportunity for development as a potential green hydrogen production and export hub," chief executive officer Julie Shuttleworth said in a statement to RNZ.Photo: Jack / Imaginechina via AFPForrest clashed recently with the Australian federal government over his forecast of a rapid end in sight for coal-fired energy and steel production.He led a big Fortescue team that visited 47 countries last year, including New Zealand."[Fortescue] is assessing opportunities for projects globally, including in New Zealand, to support potential green operations," Shuttleworth said.While the company signed up some renewable and green energy project deals on its tour, nothing regarding Tiwai Point was signed."We are pleased with our engagement with local stakeholders and government on the feasibility studies to date," Shuttleworth said.
