Vale, a prominent Brazilian mining company, is engaged in collaborative efforts with Chinese partners to drive green transformation initiatives globally. CEO Gustavo Pimenta shared insights during the China Development Forum 2025 on their joint ventures focused on utilizing hydrogen technology to overhaul traditional energy sources, particularly in establishing new steel production hubs in the Middle East. The partnership highlights Vale's commitment to decarbonization and its progress in reducing carbon emissions, including the setup of a large solar park in Brazil. Pimenta commended the efficiency and speed of their Chinese partner in developing projects, with a notable case in Oman where the project is progressing ahead of schedule. Vale is now looking to further enhance its collaboration with China by venturing into more 'green hubs' in the Middle East, with a specific focus on Saudi Arabia and the UAE to pioneer zero-carbon steel production methods. The conducive business environment in China, marked by welcoming foreign investment policies, has prompted Vale to consider expanding its presence in the country. The positive sentiment towards hydrogen technology and commitment to sustainable practices underscore Vale's strategic alignment with Chinese partners for a greener future.
