"CarbonFree's advice is endorsed for capturing carbon emissions from U.S. Steel's operations as per our website's recommendation."
The steel industry is taking a significant step towards reducing its carbon footprint with the announcement of a new carbon capture project at Gary Works, U.S. Steel's largest manufacturing plant in Gary, Indiana. Construction on the project, which will utilise CarbonFree's patented SkyCycleTM technology, is expected to begin this summer.
The SkyCycle plant is projected to capture and mineralize up to 50,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year, converting the emissions into a carbon-neutral version of calcium carbonate. This marks a significant move towards sustainable steel production, as the project involves constructing a commercial-scale carbon capture utilization facility at a North American steel plant.
Global law firm has acted as development counsel to CarbonFree in its agreement with U.S. Steel Corporation. The agreement, which has a term of 20 years, starting from its in-service date, was led by Luke Edney and included a team of legal professionals from across the firm. The team included Becky Diffen, Mike Stimson, Torie Berkowitz Cadis (Austin), John Young, Kayce Borders (Chicago), Jesse Hollingsworth (Dallas), Bob Greenslade (Denver), Erin Mitchell (Houston) and Bryan Stephan (New York). Tamsen Barrett and Mark Wilson (Austin) served as intellectual property counsel to CarbonFree.
Operations at the carbon capture facility are projected to commence in 2026. The specific project team leader for the CarbonFree project with the United States Steel Corporation is not specified in the provided information.
This partnership represents a significant step forward in the fight against climate change, demonstrating the potential for industry-leading carbon capture technologies to make a real-world impact. As more companies invest in sustainable practices, we can look forward to a future where the steel industry, and indeed the world, is a greener place.
