U.S. Steel and the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) plan to test carbon-capture technology at the company’s Edgar Thomson Plant in Braddock, Pa.
The project is part of the US Department of Energy (DOE)/NETL Point Source Carbon Capture Program, the Pittsburgh-based steelmaker said. It will use an “advanced membrane technology” to capture CO2 at the plant.
“The testing of this promising NETL-developed membrane at the Edgar Thomson Plant is an important step to move this groundbreaking technology closer to commercial deployment,” NETL’s David Hopkinson, technical portfolio lead for Point Source Carbon Capture, said in a statement from U.S. Steel on Wednesday.
U.S. Steel said the unit is scheduled to be installed at the Edgar Thomson Plant, part of its Mon Valley Works, in early 2025. The field test is set to run for approximately six months.
