Vale and GreenIron have entered a partnership to implement green solutions in the mining and metals industry. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the two companies focuses on key initiatives in Brazil and Sweden, including a feasibility study for a direct reduction facility in Brazil operated by GreenIron. The collaboration aims to leverage Vale's product portfolio, Brazil's advantage in green hydrogen, and GreenIron's expertise in sustainable iron production to provide low-carbon solutions for the industry. GreenIron's technology, which includes hydrogen-based, fossil-free, and energy-efficient processes, has shown promise in reducing emissions. The companies are set to test Vale's iron ore briquettes, known for producing lower CO2 emissions than pellets, in GreenIron's facilities. Furthermore, GreenIron plans to scale up its operations in Sandviken, Sweden, with a focus on becoming a leader in CO2-free metals and mining. Vale, as a major iron ore producer, aims to transition to renewable energy sources entirely in Brazil by 2025 and globally by 2030, alongside improving energy efficiency. The partnership signifies a commitment to sustainability and innovation in the sector, with a strong emphasis on reducing the environmental footprint of mining and metals production.
