Fortescue Future Industries has announced an agreement with Deutsche Bahn to cooperate on research investigating green hydrogen and ammonia gas fuels in rail applications. FFI and DB have ambitious climate targets and are both moving as quickly as possible to remove diesel from their operations and replace it with green fuels and zero-emission solutions. This agreement outlines a proposal for FFI to participate in DB's research and development into a carbon free internal combustion engine, with the research having the potential to accelerate Fortescue’s Green Fleet rail delivery program. The agreement follows a Memorandum of Understanding signed between FFI and DB, which centres on the companies’ intentions to work together collaboratively on decarbonisation technology opportunities. FFI & DB’s partnership builds on Fortescue’s announcement in March 2022 to develop with FFI and WAE the world’s first regenerating battery electric iron ore train, pre-feasibility studies are progressing, with delivery of the first Infinity Train scheduled to be operational by the end of 2027.
