In view of this, to support the transition to these paradigms for a world that configures itself as “more sustainable”, this new initiative will focus on the participation of startups that have their focus on four themes central.
The first is “Decarbonization in the mining chain”. The idea in this area is to make investments that help Vale and its customers to reduce the emission of carbon, supporting the company's ambition to reduce emissions of this gas to be carbon neutral by the year 2050.
The second theme is “Mining without waste”. In this regard, the idea is to reduce waste and the impact it causes on the environment, thus fostering the circular economy and generating new revenue streams.
The third theme is dedicated to “Energy Transition Metals”. The idea is to access the capacity to supply essential metals for the energy transition and boost emerging demands.
And, finally, the fourth theme is “Mining of the future”. Here, the idea is to invest in new technologies that will change the way mining companies run their business today.
