Renewable energy company Fortescue Future Industries has gained planning approval to build one of the world’s largest hydrogen equipment manufacturing facilities in Gladstone.
Deputy Premier and Minister for State Development, Steven Miles, said the approval would allow FFI to progress plans for constructing the facility in the Gladstone State Development Area.
With initial capacity to manufacture up to two gigawatts of electrolysers annually, it will be the largest electrolyser factory in the world when it comes online in 2023.
Treasurer and Minister for Trade and Investment, Cameron Dick, said the renewable energy revolution is a key element of the Palaszczuk Government’s economic recovery plan.
