This Climate Week, we are proud of the meaningful progress our teams have made toward our decarbonization goals. In 2023, we achieved our 2025 steel mills' Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions intensity goal and 2025 steel mills' renewable electrical energy goal ahead of schedule. Our decarbonization strategy is an ongoing journey, and we plan to use our entrepreneurial spirit to continue to be a leader in the industry. #SteelDynamics #ClimateWeek2024

“…FirstEnergy Corp. abandoned its 2030 target for slashing greenhouse-gas emissions because coal plants can’t be replaced in time, marking a major about-face in the movement to protect the climate. Utilities across the US have announced a slew of carbon-reduction goals in recent years in response to regulatory pressure to clean up power-generation fleets and meet green investor goals. Most utilities, however, are failing to make significant progress toward long-term carbon-neutrality targets, the Sierra Club found in an October report. FirstEnergy can’t meaningfully cut emissions because the coal-fired Fort Martin and Harrison power plants in West Virginia are crucial to ensuring adequate regional electricity supplies, according to a company presentation. Changing market conditions also mean those facilities are going to be more profitable to keep open than historically projected. “We’ve identified several challenges to our ability to meet that interim goal, including resource adequacy concerns,” FirstEnergy Chief Executive Officer Brian Tierney said during a conference call with investors on Friday. “Given these challenges, we have decided to remove our 2030 interim goal.” The Ohio-based company’s longer-term goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050 remains in effect, he noted. Those two West Virginian coal plants are slated to shut down in 2035 and 2040. FirstEnergy’s move comes after Duke Energy Corp. warned North Carolina regulators that meeting carbon-reduction mandates may take longer than the 2030 deadline, given the pace of economic development that drives power-demand growth. Southern Co. executives, meanwhile, have been hinting that they may need to delay some coal-pant retirements…”

As 2023 shapes up to be the hottest year on record, the imperative for climate action couldn’t be more evident. This year’s Energy and Natural Resources Journal is focusing on the actions and incentives that need to be prioritized to fulfill our pledge to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 — now only six years away. Below, my colleagues explore the specifics of what companies should do or are actually doing to decarbonize. #OWEnergy #Energy #Decarbonization

Did you know wastewater can be a powerful energy source? Wastewater-to-Energy (WTE) transforms waste into renewable power! Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, is captured and utilized with cutting-edge technology. Learn how this innovation is fighting climate change: https://bit.ly/3VQtvYs

Did you know that methane gas is considered the second largest contributor to climate change after carbon dioxide? Utilities across Wisconsin are proposing massive new methane gas infrastructure, which is inconsistent with the state’s clean energy future and directly conflicts with the state achieving carbon-neutral status by 2050.
