CLIMATE CHANGES
Our commitment to a more sustainable production
process is also related to a concern that must be part
of all organizations, governments and society in
general: the risks involved with the climate changes
that the planet faces.
For this reason, the topic of Climate Change is
considered highly relevant for Minasligas, permeating
all our areas of activity, production processes and
analysis of risk and opportunity scenarios.

continually invests business strategies,
environmental technologies and management programs that
affirm, maintain and enhance our commitment to sustainable
production: one that is efficient and safe, that stands out as a
"green" production (cleaner and with less carbon emissions)
and that treats energy as an essential input, to be preserved and
renewed at all stages of the production line.
One of the strategies that permeates our entire business and
guarantees a more sustainable production process is the
maintenance of our own forestry massif, maintained on 14
farms located in the state of Minas Gerais. The planting of
eucalyptus on these farms guarantees a renewable source of
charcoal and firewood for wood chips, important raw materials
(called bioreducers) for the production of Ferro Silicon and
Silicon Metal.
Physical Risk Analysis:
Loss of forest assets due to:
water scarcity in periods of severe drought;
forest fires in periods of drought;
higher incidence of pests and forest diseases due to physiological
disorders favored by water scarcity and temperature increase.
Reduction in productivity or partial stoppage of forestry activities due
to:

Forest Project

+27 thousand hectares
planted forests and fallow areas
+ 22 thousand hectares
native vegetation of the Cerrado of Minas Gerais
Electricity
96% of energy used from
renewable source
Negative Carbon balance:
(2020)-236,789 ton CO2 eq
(2021) -189,934 ton CO2 eq
Balance considering
Scope 1+ Scope 2
(Market Based)
Investment in forests, whether native or reforested, and the use
of bioreducer, added to other sources of clean electricity which,
in 2021, reached 96% of energy used in production, generate a
differentiated condition in terms of sustainability, with low
environmental impact solutions. In 2021, Minasligas reached an
emission factor of 0.55 ton CO2eq/ton of product, calculation
obtained through the GHG Protocol methodology. This result,
compared to other producers in the world, is almost 7 times
lower.
Thus, considering Scope 1+ Scope 2 (Market Based), the carbon
balance for 2021 was -184,934 ton CO2eq, which means that
Minasligas retained more greenhouse gases in its planted and
native forests than it emitted in its productive process.
decrease in water availability;
poor distribution of rainfall throughout the year;
scarcity of water resources in periods of severe drought.
Reduction in the productive capacity of:
charcoal-
|– raw material for the production of Ferro Silicon and
Silicon Metal
wood chips - raw material for Silicon Metal production
Logistics stoppage in the delivery of raw materials due to the occurrence
of storms.
Increase in the cost of forestry production due to extreme weather
effects and/or water deficit (costs with projects and research, use of
greater quantity of inputs without guarantee of expected production)
