Ark’s first move was to access more renewable power in Australia by buying into a 923-MW wind farm that’s expected to spin up in 2024. To become a low-cost producer of green hydrogen, we first have to become an extreme user—to make it pervasive across our business. In 2021, Ark Energy took a stake in.
