Best Location on Earth for Green Iron


Bahia is blessed by nature.

High-quality iron ore resources, 100% renewable energy and existing logistics solutions.

1. Iron Ore Resources


Internationally important iron ore resource. 1.70 billion tonnes resource (NI43-101 claim) > 3bt Target

2. Wind Energy


Offshore wind speeds on land. The world's best onshore location for wind power. 8GW of generation capacity just a few kilometers from our project.

3. Solar Energy


Large solar generation capacity is being installed in central Bahia. The combination of solar and wind power generation provides a robust and reliable source of renewable energy.

4. Hydroelectric power plant


Hydroelectric generation plays a significant role in Brazil's national grid. Within the state of Bahia, there are two hydroelectric facilities in the São Francisco River basin.

5. Logistics


All Saints Bay is the largest natural harbor in Latin America, with several existing port facilities. The state is also served by two railways: FCA and FIOL (under construction). Brazil Iron has already completed 10 direct-shipment ore (DSO) shipments to customers in Europe and Asia.

Why our project?

Bahia - Ideally positioned for low-cost green hydrogen production

Blessed by nature! Iron ore, wind, sun and water.

Net positive environmental impact. Biodiversity improvement plan.

Positive sustainable change for our communities.

Sponge iron (DRI) is critical for net-zero CO2 emissions targets by 2050.

Our commitment to environmental and social sustainability

Our goal is to sustainably develop Bahia's iron ore resources as Brazil's new green cradle of iron and steel, using 100% renewable energy and green hydrogen. We intend to operate with zero carbon emissions and deliver net positive results for the environment and our communities.
