Initiatives Underway and Next Steps

We are implementing a series of initiatives to achieve our social and environmental goals and help fight plundering climate change caused by emissions of pollutants. Check out our main initiatives below.

Recover and protect more than 500,000 hectares of native forest by 2030.

Replace diesel with renewable sources of electric energy in mining and transport activities, including trucks and trains.

Self-generate 100% of electric power from clean sources globally.

By 2025, Vale is committed to achieving self-sufficiency in electric energy in Brazil and, by 2030, 100% of the energy used in all of our operations globally will come from renewable sources.
Currently, Vale is building Sol do Cerrado, one of the largest solar energy plants in the country, with an installed capacity of 766 megawatts. Located in Jaba (MG) and scheduled to start up in October 2022, this solar plant will meet 13% of Vale's electricity demands in 2025 and will represent an annual cost reduction of US$70 million after the startup. The company is investing US$500 million in the project.
In the second half of 2020, in partnership with the company Casa dos Ventos, Vale started up the 151MW Folha Larga Sul wind power plant, located in Bahia. Part of the electricity it generates is reserved for Vale’s 20-year power purchase contract (PPA in Portuguese), which enables us to reduce CO2e emissions by 32 thousand tons per year. Our contract also gives our company an option to purchase future power plant assets, enabling Vale to become a partner and self-producer of energy.
