Eramet signed an agreement with Gabon to expand local manganese processing, targeting up to 700,000 tons of ore transformed annually by end-2031.
The plan includes a local biochar supply chain using forestry byproducts to replace metallurgical coke, aiming to cut emissions from manganese processing.
A pilot biochar kiln started in July 2026; a 10,000-tons-a-year production unit is being studied for startup by 2029.
Gabon committed to secure competitive power supply for the projects, a key condition for the economics of new alloy capacity.
A “Made in Gabon” industrial seed fund was launched, targeting 3,000 industrial jobs over time.
