Watch: Why FMG’s hydrogen pull-back opens the door for Pure Hydrogen as its strategy gathers momentum
Pure Hydrogen Corporation’s (ASX: PH2) Managing Director, Scott Brown, recently spoke with Investor Stream on why Fortescue’s recent pull-back on its target to produce 15 million tonnes of hydrogen by 2030 presents an opportunity for Pure Hydrogen.

Highlights:

  • Pure Hydrogen has a very different strategy to Fortescue, which is focused on small-scale production that can scale up, starting from a very simple operation to service some of its key customers.
  • The rollout of micro-hubs, along with the clear potential of Turquoise Hydrogen technology, both offer a viable solution to produce low-cost hydrogen and meet the relevant energy requirements of the industry as it builds up.
  • This is in contrast to the proposed rollout of major infrastructure projects with high capital costs to produce hydrogen for export, some of which have subsequently been wound back.
  • As Pure Hydrogen increases demand by selling more vehicles, it can ramp up production by adding an extra line.
  • By selling these vehicles, Pure Hydrogen knows in advance what the demand will be, which is critical to its business growth and minimises the risk of scaling up.
  • Through this, Pure Hydrogen believes it is developing a hydrogen economy covering all aspects of the market from production to end-use.
