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.

Graphene and Niobium Battery Will Revolutionize the Automotive Industry, According to the Current Brazilian President

“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.”

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.

Niobium and Graphene Play an Important Role for the Future

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

James Webb finds a deformed lemon-shaped planet orbiting a dead star, with an atmosphere of helium and carbon, soot and carbon clouds that could turn into diamond in the depths; composition defies everything scientists expected from a Jupiter-sized world.

The James Webb telescope detected the climate of a planet 280 light-years from Earth, with days hot enough to forge iron and nights covered by dense clouds, where winds reach 8,000 km/h.

China is equipping a scientific base in the heart of Antarctica with solar, wind, hydrogen, and battery power to operate even during the polar night in the Ross Sea.

A British company installed Japan’s first megawatt-scale tidal turbine under the Naru Strait, generating clean electricity from the predictable force of the tides, without relying on wind or sun.

End of bricklayers laying brick by brick: compact robots use AI, carry bricks and mortar, pass through doors, work in teams, and are already building real facades in Europe.

The largest precious metals mine under construction in the world is situated on a layer of ore 25 times thicker than common mines in South Africa, and has just connected a third shaft that will quintuple the extraction of platinum, palladium, and gold.
