Steel Slab Electrified Induction Reheat Furnace Upgrade

The Steel Slab Electrified Induction Reheat Furnace Upgrade project plans to electrify certain processes at Cleveland-Cliffs Butler Works, the leading production facility for high-silicon grain oriented electrical steel (GOES) in the United States. GOES is a critical input for transformers and the electricity sector. The project will construct four new induction reheat furnaces that will replace two existing natural gas fired slab reheat furnaces.

Industrial Demonstrations Program

This project is being conducted with the support of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED). Through the Industrial Demonstrations Program, DOE aims to accelerate decarbonization projects in energy-intensive industries and provide American manufacturers a competitive advantage. The Industrial Demonstrations Program includes new, emerging technologies that aim to help produce clean steel, cement, chemicals, and other materials used in our nation’s roads, bridges, transmission lines, electric vehicles, solar panels, wind turbines, and everyday lives, which in turn, benefit every American.
