According to the report, Vale is the largest producer of iron ore and nickel in the world, recently announced that its first iron ore briquette plant has started load testing at the Tubarão Unit in Vitória, Brazil, which means that the official production is very close.
The adhesive technology solution improves the mechanical strength of the product and, in addition, reduces greenhouse gas emissions during the production process by 10% compared to traditional blast furnace processes. Briquettes can also be used in direct reduction routes, replacing pellets.
One of Vale's two briquette plants in Tubarão is launching this year, with the other expected to start early next year, with a combined annual output of 6 million tons and the creation of 2,300 jobs during construction.
