The System Developed by Vale at the Rio de Janeiro Terminal Is Part of the Investment of Approximately US$ 2 Billion, to Reduce Its Emissions by 33% by 2030

Vale is installing, in Rio de Janeiro, one of the largest battery energy storage systems for electrical demand supply in the country. Recently, the company announced an investment of at least US$ 2 billion to reduce its absolute direct and indirect emissions by 33% by 2030, based on the premises of the Paris Agreement, in addition to the intention to become carbon neutral by 2050.

For the installation of the system, Vale partnered with Siemens and MicroPower Comerc (MPC), which will effectively reduce energy costs at the port by about 20% by replacing the supply from the utility’s electrical grid during peak demand hours when the rate is higher. The equipment has a storage capacity of 10 megawatt-hours, enough to supply 45,000 homes for one hour.
