Vale and H2 Green Steel to explore green hydrogen development in the Americas

In Brazil, Vale and H2 Green Steel have signed an agreement to jointly study the feasibility of developing green industrial hubs in Brazil and North America, enabling sustainable steel production. In such industrial centers, H2 Green Steel is exploring to produce low-carbon steel value chain products, such as green hydrogen and hot briquetted iron (HBI), using iron ore briquettes produced by Vale as input material and renewable electricity as the energy source for its hydrogen production.

Through this agreement, Vale establishes a partnership in Brazil with a green iron and steel producer that is at the forefront of global decarbonization, while fostering the low-carbon industry and stimulating the green hydrogen chain in the country.
