Seven-time participant in CIIE, Vale will showcase a range of innovative low-carbon exhibits.

From [date] to [date], the 7th China International Import Expo was held as scheduled at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai). Vale, as a "CIIE loyal friend" that has participated in every edition of the expo, will once again showcase a range of innovative and low-carbon exhibits at this annual event, including several high-quality iron ore products and energy transition metal products, innovative low-carbon solutions such as iron ore briquettes, and a model of the world's largest vessel equipped with a wind propulsion system.

It is reported that at this year's CIIE, Vale will showcase its innovative product, Iron Ore Pellets, which has been developed over recent years. Iron Ore Pellets are a product that can be directly charged into the furnace, suitable for both direct reduction shaft furnace processes, producing green metal materials to supply the production of green steel; and for blast furnaces, replacing sinter and pellets, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions from steel production by up to %.

In addition to iron ore briquettes, Vale will also showcase low-carbon solutions such as ironmaking technology and the giant hub. The ironmaking technology, by using biochar to replace metallurgical coal and coke, produces green pig iron, which helps steel companies reduce or eliminate carbon emissions in steel production. The giant hub is an industrial complex that produces iron ore briquettes and uses them as raw materials to produce hot-briquetted iron (HBI) through a direct reduction route. Compared to the blast furnace-converter long process route, using natural gas can significantly reduce carbon emissions in the steel production chain.

In addition, Vale will also showcase high-quality iron ore pellet products as well as Carajas fines, Brazilian Blend fines, and Green Pellet fines, which are premium iron ore fines characterized by high iron content and low impurity levels.

Another highlight of Vale's booth at this year's CIIE is a ship model made to scale, whose prototype is the world's largest ore carrier equipped with a wind propulsion system. This giant vessel, named "", is a type of ore carrier with a length of meters, a width of meters, and a carrying capacity of million tons. It employs rotor sail technology, which increases energy efficiency by up to % and can reduce CO2 equivalent emissions by tons per ship annually.

This year marks the anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Brazil, and Vale will showcase the Vale-Central South University Joint Laboratory for Low-Carbon and Hydrogen Metallurgy, which was launched just this month. Xie Xue, President of Vale China, stated, "At this year's CIIE, we will present a more interactive display, comprehensively showcasing Vale's high-quality products and innovative low-carbon solutions, as well as the latest collaborations between Vale and Chinese enterprises in innovation and low-carbon fields. As a long-term partner of China and a reliable supplier of raw materials for China's steel industry, Vale remains committed to continuously supplying various high-quality mineral products and innovative low-carbon solutions to China, supporting the acceleration of new productive forces and the green transformation of China's steel industry."
