Mining billionaire, Andrew Forrest, continues to ramp up Australia’s renewable export industry after partnering with the Queensland government to create a hydrogen mega-manufacturing centre on the state’s central coast.

Forrest’s Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) will inject $114 million into helping transform Gladstone into an international hub for both the production of green hydrogen-making equipment, known as “electrolysers,” and the creation and export of hydrogen itself.
