The United States Steel Corporation (U.S. Steel) announced on Wednesday a collaboration with Texas-based CarbonFree to capture carbon emissions produced by U.S. Steel’s Gary Works blast furnaces in Northwest Indiana.
The project will be the first commercial-scale carbon capture utilization plant at a steel mill in North America and puts U.S. Steel on a path to reaching its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions intensity of 20% by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. It is the first step in exploring the scalability of carbon capture technology for potential future implementation at additional steel mills.
