Fortescue Future Industries has commenced the construction of the first stage of the world’s largest electrolyzer facility known as Green Energy Manufacturing Centre (GEM) in Gladstone Queensland, Australia.
The GEM will be powered by green energy and become a major new pollution-free green manufacturing hub. The AUD114 million (US$83 million) stage one is an electrolyzer facility, which will be expanded as current demand indications crystalize. The GEM has several growth stages already planned into its factory footprint which includes green manufacturing technology such as cables, batteries, wind turbines and solar panels.
The electrolyzer facility will have an initial capacity of 2 GW per annum, more than doubling current global production, and enough to produce more than 200,000 tonnes of green hydrogen each year.
