Global growth to support industrial transformation 

Fortescue is exploring opportunities around the world that support the future of heavy industry. Building on the strength of our iron ore operations, we are assessing initiatives in green metals, renewable energy and emerging technologies that enable industrial decarbonisation. These opportunities span multiple regions and stages of development and reflect our ambition to pursue disciplined growth while supporting industries that will underpin the global energy transition.

Disciplined growth

Fortescue’s growth strategy focuses on opportunities that deliver clear commercial value.

Our iron ore business provides the foundation, built on operational excellence, capital discipline and strong returns.

As industries seek reliable energy and lower-emissions production, new opportunities are emerging across energy, metals and industrial technology.

Fortescue is exploring initiatives globally, with a sharpened focus on projects that are economically viable and strategically aligned with our capabilities.

Our growth priorities 

Fortescue is pursuing growth in areas that support the future of heavy industry while delivering long-term commercial value. Our focus is on opportunities that are economically viable and strategically aligned with our capabilities, spanning energy, metals, critical minerals and technology.

  • Energy

    Renewable energy will be central to the decarbonisation of heavy industry. Fortescue is assessing opportunities to develop large-scale renewable energy systems that could power future industrial processes, including potential developments in Morocco.

  • Metals

    Demand is growing for lower-emissions metals that support the global energy transition. Fortescue is evaluating opportunities to produce green metals, including work connected to the Belinga project in Gabon.

  • Critical Minerals

    Critical minerals are essential for technologies such as batteries, renewable energy systems and electrified industrial equipment. Fortescue is exploring opportunities that could help strengthen future supply chains for these materials.

  • Technology

    Through Fortescue Zero, we are advancing technologies that support the electrification and decarbonisation of industrial systems. These innovations are designed to transform Fortescue’s own operations while also supporting broader industry change.
