U.S. Steel is teaming up with the Energy Department to test an
advanced membrane technology to capture carbon dioxide emissions at
one of the steelmaker's plants in Pennsylvania.
U.S. Steel on Wednesday said it will work with the DOE's
National Energy Technology Laboratory to capture CO2 generated by
steelmaking operations at its Edgar Thomson Plant in Braddock,
Pa.
The company said the project is part of the DOE's Point Source
Carbon Capture Program, which looks to separate and capture CO2
emissions from industrial sources such as iron and steel
production, as well as chemical production.
U.S. Steel, which has set a goal to achieve net-zero
greenhouse-gas emissions by 2050, said membrane-based carbon
capture uses permeable materials that allow for the selective
separation of CO2 from flue gas, adding that the simplicity of the
process offers the advantage of reduced capital and maintenance
costs.
