Brazil's culture of innovation

“Online analyzers that allow the analysis of conveyor belt contents, materials in the form of pulp, and foam at various stages of ore processing with up to 95% accuracy are a trend. With this technology, we can measure the properties of the processed material, such as moisture, metallic contents, coarse and ultra-fine granulometry.”

Marco Aurelio Soares, COO, CEMI

“In Brazil, we already have the technology for carbon capture products and green hydrogen production and the capacity to meet this demand. Culturally, doing business in Brazil is different than in other Latin American countries. Brazil is a bit more accepting of innovation."

Rafael Toledo, Key Account Manager, Howden
