Vale continues to expand its presence in the national renewable energy market and aims to become a leader in the segment. For this Friday, (11/18), the company has officially commenced production of the Sol do Cerrado Project, a solar park located in the municipality of Jaíba, northern Minas Gerais. The solar energy produced at the site will have the capacity to meet the needs of a city of 800,000 inhabitants in the coming years.

After dominating the national mining sector and becoming the largest company in Brazilian territory, Vale seeks to achieve the same position with solar energy production.

The mining company announced the start of energy generation at the Sol do Cerrado solar park project, installed in the Minas Gerais region.

Vale has been increasingly investing in sustainability projects and minimizing the environmental impacts caused by its operations.

In this way, the company announced a few years ago the initiative to achieve net zero carbon consumption and emissions in its operations by the end of the year 2050.

To achieve this, it has been undertaking the construction of large renewable energy projects, such as the Sol do Cerrado Project, which will contribute to the company’s sustainability initiative.

The energy generated by Sol do Cerrado will reduce Vale’s emissions by 134 thousand tCO2e/year, which represents the emissions of approximately 100 thousand compact cars.

“Sol do Cerrado is a groundbreaking project for Vale, bringing local development, renewable energy, and aligning with our goal of being leaders in sustainable mining,” says Eduardo Bartolomeo, Vale’s CEO.

In conclusion, the solar park project has secured a total of 3,000 jobs over the years of development, contributing to the Minas Gerais region.
