Iron ore miner Fortescue Metals Group has set a net-zero target date of 2040 for its scope 3 emissions. Fortescue’s plans to become a major player in the global hydrogen industry will be central to achieving the ambitious target. Buyers of Fortescue’s iron ore account for about 98 per cent of the group’s scope 3 emissions; this equates to around 246.1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2020-21. Fortescue has also set a target of 2030 for its mining operations to become carbon-neutral, while it has outlined plans to decarbonise its fleet of ore carriers.
