Brazil Iron Highlights Bahia’s Strategic Role in Green Iron and Energy Transition at II CBPM Forum

Brazil Iron participated in the II CBPM Mining & Sustainability Forum, where industry leaders, government officials, and experts gathered to discuss the role of mining in the global energy transition. The event, organized by the Companhia Baiana de Pesquisa Mineral (CBPM), underscored the importance of sustainable mining practices and Bahia’s unique position in supplying critical minerals and green iron to the global market.

Vice President of Institutional Relations, Emerson Souza, highlighted Bahia’s competitive advantage: “This region is uniquely positioned to lead in the transition to low-carbon iron production, not only because of its world-class mineral reserves but also due to its access to abundant renewable energy.”

The event reinforced strong institutional and government backing for responsible mining. CBPM President Henrique Carballal emphasized that sustainable mining must drive social and economic development: “We are committed to ensuring that mining benefits local communities, fosters economic growth, and aligns with global sustainability standards.”

Key discussions at the forum focused on workforce development, infrastructure, and policy support to maximize Bahia’s potential as a leader in the global green iron supply chain. The Bahia state government reaffirmed its commitment to supporting mining-linked industries, with initiatives aimed at workforce training and value-added processing to strengthen the region’s industrial base.

Brazil Iron remains dedicated to advancing sustainable mining practices and supporting Bahia’s economic growth. As the transition to green iron accelerates, the company is proud to contribute to the responsible development of Brazil’s mineral resources.
