"CDM Smith developed the project methodology and proposal for engagement with Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) to provide strategic approvals advice for a multi-gigawatt renewable energy to green hydrogen production concept scope. The project involved aggregating a set of spatial data to determine constraints and opportunities for the concept, provided a regulatory risk review, approvals matrix, scheduling advice and articulated the analysis in a succinct report and presentations to lay the foundations for the primary approvals of a conceptual Fortescue Future Industries green hydrogen production project."
