US Steel ends plans for $1.5B Pennsylvania plant upgrades

Pittsburgh-based United States Steel Corp. said Friday that it is canceling a $1.5 billion project to bring a state-of-the-art improvement to its Mon Valley Works operations in western Pennsylvania, saying the world has changed in the two years since it announced its intentions.

Project permits initially stalled by the pandemic never came through, U.S. Steel has added capacity elsewhere, and now it must shift its focus to its goal of eliminating greenhouse gas emissions from its facilities by 2050, it said.

U.S. Steel revealed the news in an earnings call Friday morning and in an “open letter” on social media, putting an end to what would have been one of the largest industrial investments in Pennsylvania.

It also said it will shut down batteries 1, 2 and 3 at its Clairton Plant by early 2023 — representing approximately 17% of coke production at the plant — to help reduce polluting emissions from equipment long-criticized as among the area’s worst polluters.

“The world is changing rapidly and we’re on the 10-yard line with 90 yards ahead of us,” David Burritt, the company’s president and CEO, said in the letter.
U.S. Steel said it does not anticipate laying off any of the 130 full-time workers at the three batteries, and that job reductions will come from retirements and reassignments.
Two years ago, the company’s plan had been to improve its steelmaking efficiency and reduce emissions at its Mon Valley Works operations.
Adding new casting and rolling technology at its Edgar Thompson Plant to allow it to combine thin slab casting and hot rolled band production into one process had been touted as the first of its kind in the U.S.
The upgrade was designed to make the plant a primary source of material for high-strength, lightweight and flexible steel that feeds the automotive sector.
U.S. Steel had initially expected the first production in 2022, but in the meantime, the company has added capacity elsewhere to feed demand for lightweight steel.
