Fortescue is yet to say where its electrolysers will be utilised first, but they are not due to be used at the company’s planned 550MW Gibson Island project in Brisbane, Queensland, despite the new factory being a little over 500km away.
The preferred electrolyser supplier for Gibson Island is Plug Power, which would supply its machines from New York state, about 18,500km away.

Fortescue is yet to say where its electrolysers will be utilised first, but they are not due to be used at the company’s planned 550MW Gibson Island project in Brisbane, Queensland, despite the new factory being a little over 500km away.
The preferred electrolyser supplier for Gibson Island is Plug Power, which would supply its machines from New York state, about 18,500km away.
In October 2023, when Fortescue announced Plug as the preferred supplier, a company spokesperson told Hydrogen Insight that the move was a reflection of an impending supply squeeze on electrolysers.

“Right now, there are not enough electrolysers in the world to support the amount of green hydrogen we are set to produce,” the spokesperson said at the time.
“That is why we are partnering with other world leaders in this space to secure our green energy supply chain, and we’re excited to secure capacity with Plug to help us achieve our goals.
“Fortescue has always said we are technologically agnostic and will always use the best solutions at the best price for shareholders for each of our projects.”
