Vale, The Largest Mining Company in The Country, Alone Consumes 2% of All Electricity in Brazil. This Fact Impressive and Concerns Major Brazilian Experts, Because The Giant of The Mining Sector Consumes An Amount of Electricity Equivalent to That Consumed by a State, For Example.
Last Tuesday (07/20), a survey conducted by The Mining Observatory revealed that Vale, The Largest Mining Company in Brazil and Top 5 Worldwide, Alone Consumes an Average of 2% of All Electricity Produced in The Country. For Example, If The Company Were a Brazilian State, Its Demand Would Be Equivalent to That of Espírito Santo, Which Is Considered A Lot.
The Energy Demand of The Largest Mining Company in The Country Is Due to The Size of The Mining and Steel Sector
In This Sense, It Is Worth Highlighting That The Giant Energy Demand of The Mining Company Aligns With The Size of The Mining and Steel Sector in The Brazilian Electricity Market, Responsible for The Consumption of 11% of All Electricity Produced in The Country. And Considering The Overall Energy Consumption, Besides Electricity, More Than 50% of The Energy Consumed by Vale Derives From Non-Renewable Energies.
Thus, This Fact Is Of Great Importance for The Market, Since It Highlights The Vulnerability of The Company to Possible Charges From International Markets Regarding The Carbon Linked to Its Production.

After China, it’s now the turn of the USA to ‘secure’ a share of Brazil’s natural resources: the country buys critical rare earths for R$ 3 billion and enters the center of the global technology dispute.
-
Rare earths are in everything, from cell phones to bullet trains, and what almost no one realizes is why they have become the target of such a delicate global war.

Historic bankruptcy of Centauro shocks the market, and the century-old company puts more than 500,000 products, machines, and complete infrastructure up for online auction.

Brazil extracts 26.3 million tons of ore from what was previously treated as waste, transforming residues into wealth, producing over 3 million tons of sand, and demonstrating how national mining is relearning to generate value.
The Mining Company Benefits From Subsidies, Incentives, Exemptions, and Special Tax Regimes That Lower The Cost of The Electricity It Consumes, Another Important Information Raised by The Report. This Is Not Exactly Wrong, But It Complicates Due to The Lack of Transparency From The Company Regarding This Information.
Meanwhile, Solar Energy Has Established Itself as The 3rd Largest Source in The National Electric Matrix, Behind Only Hydroelectric and Wind Energy. A Survey by ABSOLAR, Based on Data From ANEEL, Observed An Installed Capacity of 16.4 GW of Solar Energy in The Country, Surpassing The Total of Natural Gas and Biomass (Both With 16.3 GW).
The Increase in Solar Generation Has Been Facilitated Recently By Investments of Over R$ 86 Billion, Which Ensured R$ 22.8 Billion in Government Revenue and Nearly 480,000 New Jobs, In Addition to Preventing The Emission of 23.6 Million Tons of CO2, Which Would Ultimately Be Of Great Help for The Mining Company.
