And on the other side, you get Namibia's first green industrial product since independence.
This is an extremely valuable commodity for us in so many different ways.
A nugget of direct reduced iron ore.
It has more than 90 percent iron content, and it is a fantastic ingredient for making green steel.
and by the way, still contributes about seven to nine percent of global emissions.
So this is quite an interesting contribution to humanity from our side.
Now, I did try to bring a nugget for all of you to see and touch, but customs said it was too valuable and I didn't have a tax invoice.
So for now, come to Namibia and we'll show you the real thing.
As much as we're proud of that lovely nugget,
we're even more proud of all the people who work at High Iron.
This is what 400 jobs during construction looks like, and this is what empowerment of the people of not just Namibia, but indeed the world, looks like.
This was a real United Nations effort, right?
The solar panels, batteries and electrolyzers came from China.
The kiln came from Germany.
The capital came from Europe.
The offtake is coming from Japan, so Toyota Tsudo is actually looking at buying this particular facility and the iron ore to make green steel.
And then, of course, the labor and the sun came from our beloved Namibia.
And to me, this is what happens when humanity comes together for a common cause.
Now, we have more than one flavor of lemonade.
That was a lime flavor.
