With steelmaking accounting for around 8 per cent of global CO2 emissions, the industry has a responsibility to cut the greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint associated with its operations, he noted.<\/p>\n<p>Vale in Oman, for its part, plans to source its electricity requirements from renewable sources by 2030, said the official. Also contributing to its CO2 emission reduction strategy, he added, is a new iron ore concentration plant currently being developed by Vale in partnership with a Chinese steelmaker at Sohar. High grade iron ore from the plant will play an essential part in Vale\u2019s decarbonisation journey, he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Last October, Vale and Jinnan Iron &amp; Steel Group announced a joint partnership to establish the Sohar Concentration Plant with an initial investment of over $600 million. The facility, scheduled to commence operations by mid-2027, will supply high-quality iron ore for production of pellets and briquettes, which are key to the manufacturing of low-carbon steel products via the direct reduction route. The plant will process 18 million tonnes of low-grade iron ore annually, producing 12.6 million tonnes of high-grade concentrate.<\/p>\n<p>Shedding light on the demand outlook for steel products, Al Azri said the Gulf region continues to remain an important market for Vale Oman\u2019s output. Markets include the UAE, Saudi, Qatar, India and countries of East Africa. Europe is a promising market as well, given especially the emphasis on green steel as part of their decarbonisation journey, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Integral to Vale\u2019s success in the region, Al Azri stressed, is Oman\u2019s strategic location and its proximity to all of the markets currently served by Vale. \u201cWe are in the region for just-in-time delivery to our clients, which are in the GCC. (In 2024), we (have) handled the highest volume in our history, which is a step towards solidifying our position in the region. But in addition to the GCC, we do exports to North Africa and India as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vale\u2019s growth strategy, said Al Azri, is connected to the region\u2019s ambitions to emerge as a leader in green steel. The parent company is currently in discussion with a number of partners in the region, notably in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, to set up \u201cadditional operations\u201d to help strengthen the group\u2019s positioning in the emerging low-carbon steel sector.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-desc\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"whatsapp-channel-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omanobserver.om\/article\/1165171\/business\/energy\/vale-oman-targets-switch-to-renewable-power-by-2030\">Oman Observer<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brazilian mining giant Vale says its iron ore pelletising plant at Sohar Port will be powered by renewable electricity by 2030, in line with a commitment by the parent organization [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8690,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[198,116,200,49],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8687","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-blogs","category-general","category-latest-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.7.1 (Yoast SEO v25.7) -
