Since 2020, Vale has invested US$1.7 billion in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, including US$251.6 million in 2025. Initiatives include testing 72-ton electric trucks, using renewable fuels in vehicle fleets, developing dual-fuel locomotives and trucks blending ethanol and diesel, and conducting field tests of biodiesel blends B30 and B50 in haul trucks. In partnership with Petrobras, Vale tested VLS B24 biobunker, a marine fuel containing 24% second-generation biodiesel derived from used cooking oil, in Singapore. The Estrada de Ferro Carajás (EFC) and Estrada de Ferro Vitória-Minas (EFVM) railways enhanced energy efficiency, reducing diesel consumption by 11 million liters annually. Vale achieved 100% renewable energy supply in Brazil in 2023 and aims to reach 100% renewable energy globally by 2030. The company employs artificial intelligence in its Smart Mine project to optimize off-road truck operations and reduce diesel use. Vale's biodiversity efforts include a Forest Target to recover and protect 500,000 hectares, with over 25,000 hectares restored in 2025. Waste management strategies involve reducing tailings disposed in dams to 19% of production, implementing waste filtration and dry stacking, and producing sand from iron ore tailings through its subsidiary Agera, which has produced approximately 3.8 million tons of sand since 2023.
