Resources reporter Peter Ker on the remarkable remaking of Andrew Forrest from mining magnate to green hydrogen crusader, what his plan is and whether he can actually pull it off.

Background reading:

• Bike not the only thing to lose paint from Debelle’s exit A bike crash left Guy Debelle using crutches at public events recently. But his exit for legitimate health issues won’t spare Fortescue from pain.
• ‘The lazy will be left behind’: Forrest’s three lessons on climate The Fortescue boss paused for breath to talk to The Australian Financial Review about why, when most CEOs are skipping COP27 this year, he has doubled down.
• This man says he can solve the energy crisis. Will anyone believe him? Saul Griffith says subsidising the electrification of households would slash emissions and, eventually, energy costs. But can his pitch win local support?
