Reduced Emissions at Pennsylvania Steel Plant

IncSmart Pennsylvania (Small Business and Startups) - US Steel is investing over $1 Billion dollars in state of the art upgrades to reduced emissions at Pennsylvania steel plant south of Pittsburgh.   The Edgar Thompson Plant in Mon Valley Works facility will reduce emissions that convert coke oven gas into electricity that will power other sections of the steel plant.  US Steel will build a cogeneration power plant at it's Clairton Coke Works.  The introduction of the new technology will start in 2022.  

The Edgar Thomson Steel Mill will be the first in the nation to employ new technology that has been worked on for years.  The company estimates a 60% decrease in particulate matter, a 50% drop in sulfur dioxide and a 80% drop in nitrogen oxides.  This investment is in part due to the 25% tariffs President Trump has initiated on steel imports from countries dumping steel on the US market.
