The Fermosa Biosiderúrgica industrial project in Formosa, Argentina, is progressing toward operational status. In mid-September, a shipment of 7,400 tons of iron ore arrived via the Paraguay-Paraná waterway to support the plant, which is backed by Brazilian capital.

By late September, construction reached its final stages. The facility is preparing to begin testing in late October or November. The project, located within the Formosa Science and Technology Pole, utilizes a production model that converts vinal wood into charcoal to create ‘green pig iron’. The development is expected to generate significant employment in logistics, wood harvesting, and industrial operations, with over 140 people currently involved in the final construction phases.
