What is Real Zero?

Net Zero is a widely used approach to decarbonisation that allows companies to purchase credits or offsets to balance their emissions. But too often, these credits reduce emissions on paper – not in practice.

Real Zero is exactly what it sounds like: zero emissions. Fortescue has a comprehensive plan to reach Real Zero by 2030.

  • Green mining

    We’re proving that you can still mine the metals needed for a green transition, without the emissions burden. Project Roadrunner is our battery electric haul truck prototype which is powered by a 1.4MWh battery, developed in house by Fortescue Zero. The truck can be charged in just 30 minutes using our 3MW fast charger.

  • Green shipping

    90% of the worlds shipping trade accounts for 700Mt of global emissions. We’re proving it can be reduced with our Green Pioneer – a prototype ammonia-powered vessel.
