Fortescue has produced its first molten metal using an electric smelting process with Pilbara ore at its Christmas Creek facility, marking a milestone in green metal production powered by renewable energy and green hydrogen.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Industrial.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
