SDI execs tout progress on Mississippi biocarbon facility

Steel Dynamics Inc. (SDI) shipped the first product from its biocarbon facility in Columbus, Miss., in September as the project continues to accelerate, company executives said on an earnings call on Tuesday.

The product was successfully used as a carbon replacement at SDI’s Columbus Flat Rolled Steel division, “providing an even lower carbon supply chain for our steel customers in the future,” Executive VP and CFO Theresa E. Wagler said.
