At the recent Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, sustainability and resilience were key topics. Dino Otranto, CEO of Fortescue, an Australian mining organisation, discussed the company’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions, especially in the steel industry, a major CO₂ contributor. Fortescue has plans to produce "green metal" without coal by using hydrogen and has developed hydrogen fuel cell mining trucks. Their ambitious target is "real zero" scope one and two emissions by 2030, a move that demonstrates strong leadership in an industry often criticized for its environmental impact. 

By investing in green technology and setting aggressive emissions goals, Fortescue is paving the way for a more sustainable future in heavy industry. This shift is particularly significant, as it shows that even high-emission sectors like mining can adopt innovative practices to reduce their carbon footprint, inspiring similar industries to take meaningful action on climate change.
