Minasligas Ferro Silicon and Silicon Metal: environmentally, the cleanest in the world

The Brazilian energy matrix presents a great differential in relation to that of other countries. Brazil has more than 80% of renewable energy in its generation portfolio, i.e., clean, and, therefore, it contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (including CO2). We also detected that the expansion of electricity generation is based on wind and solar sources, contributing even more to the generation of clean energy.

Minasligas is an electro-intensive company. Electric energy is its main raw material, used in its production process. The supply of energy is strategic for its business in several aspects, due to its stability, reliability and cost.

Thus, Minasligas supplies products to the market consuming clean energy, presenting a sustainable business cycle and contributing to the country’s economic and social development.

The source of clean electric energy and the use of the bioreductor in the production of Ferro Silicon and Silicon Metal used by the company generates a different condition in terms of sustainability and in the search for a solution with low environmental impact.
