Agreement Closed by the Brazilian Federal Government and Japan Is Essential for the Brazilian Economy and Opens New Horizons to Explore the Capacities of Niobium and Graphene
The Brazilian federal government and Japan signed a Memorandum of Cooperation between the governments in the Field of Technologies Related to the Production and Use of Niobium and Graphene. The purpose of the document is to deepen mutual understanding to explore cooperation in the value chain of products that use niobium or graphene and to provide a more structured cooperation in the future.

“Niobium is a mineral that, together with graphene, is capable of producing wonders for the world in all sectors, even regarding trifles. What is coming off the drawing board does not involve us, but we are very proud of it. It is the super battery of graphene and niobium, which will certainly revolutionize the automotive industry worldwide. And we have this in abundance,” he emphasized, after receiving from the Minister of Mines and Energy, Bento Albuquerque, a coin made of niobium.
Even before taking office as President of the Republic, Bolsonaro had already praised niobium as a great wealth to be exploited in the country. At the ceremony, the president welcomed the presence of ambassadors and assured that he dreams of “more than commodities, truly adding value to what we have for the future.”

Niobium and Graphene Play an Important Role for the Future
In 2016 the Brazilian Federal Government and Japan also closed a contract for investment application in the Brazilian infrastructure industry.
Since 2016, the Brazilian federal government together with Japan has been establishing ongoing partnerships in both the renewable energy industry and mining, and currently in new market strategies involving niobium and graphene.
Last year, Japan invested R$ 1.5 million to support the technological base of niobium and graphene. It is also worth highlighting that niobium is a strategic mineral for the Brazilian market; currently, Brazil produces 86% of this material, and as a partner, it has Japan, which exports 9.6% of ferroniobium.
