The Government of the State of Minas Gerais Announced Last Week an Agreement with Boston Metal, a Company that Will Invest R$ 573 Million in a Green Steel Industrial Plant in the City of Coronel Xavier Chaves, Region of Campo das Vertentes, in Minas Gerais.

The unit will be responsible for the extraction of metals and alloys from ore waste, using a process called molten oxide electrolysis, which eliminates the use of coal or fossil fuels, as it only uses electricity.

According to information released by the government, the expectation is that the plant would generate one thousand direct and indirect jobs by 2026, when it is expected to operate at a commercial scale. Currently, the plant is in the implementation phase and is expected to be inaugurated in the second half of this year, starting small-scale production in 2024 and gradually increasing in the following years.

Although the plant is being developed to benefit tantalum and niobium mining waste, the company claims that the process can be used on waste from any mining.

The investment from Boston Metal reinforces its leadership position in the development of green steel technologies, strengthening its presence in the national market and generating new job opportunities for the local population.
