📋 Tender Overview
The Santa Quiteria project, located in the municipality in the north of the state of Ceará that bears the same name, received public acceptance from the Brazilian Institute of the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (Ibama) for the Environmental Impact Study and Environmental Impact Report ( EIA/Rima). NOTICE No. 8/2024 – DILIC appears in the Official Gazette of the Union (DOU), published this Tuesday (04/05).
“This is a fundamental step towards making Brazil an important player in the uranium energy matrix, in addition to enabling the country to meet the growing global demand for mineral inputs for the production of fertilizers such as phosphate, crucial for achieving food security”, says the Minister of Mines and Energy, Alexandre Silveira.
The project will be implemented by the Santa Quitéria Consortium, made up of Indústrias Nucleares do Brasil (NIB) and the company Galvani – FOSNOR Fosfatados do Nordeste – Nordeste SA. With the acceptance issued by Ibama, the project now enters the analysis phase to receive a Preliminary License, which is the first of three documents issued for the environmental licensing process.
