Brazil Iron Mineração Ltda, the Brazilian subsidiary of UK-based Brazil Iron Ltd, has announced a $5 billion investment in an iron ore project located in Bahia, northeastern Brazil. This initiative will be developed in collaboration with CBPM, the state minerals research company, marking CBPM's first involvement in such a partnership. The project aims to produce green pellet feed and direct reduction iron with net-zero carbon emissions, targeting an annual output of 10 million metric tons of green pellet feed and 5 million metric tons of HBI. Scheduled for completion in 2028, the project will also include the construction of a railroad and is expected to set a new standard in the iron and steel industry while minimizing environmental impacts and community issues.
