Fortescue Future Industries (FFI), a subsidiary of Fortescue Metals Group, has partnered with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in the US to establish a green hydrogen research center in Colorado.
The collaboration will last for three years, with FFI investing $80 million over the coming ten years in research projects with NREL. The partnership aims to develop clean hydrogen technology and reduce carbon emissions across various industries.
“It is exciting to contemplate how NREL can assist FFI and Fortescue in achieving their very aggressive Scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon emission reduction goals and help them build their clean hydrogen business,” said Bill Farris, NREL’s associate laboratory director for innovation, partnering and outreach.
The researchers will work on projects related to water electrolysis, energy systems integration, and hydrogen fueling, among others.
FFI also plans to establish relationships with the top research labs and universities in the US.
