What is the cleaner way to make steel? I’ve worked at EAFs (which can only recycle steel, not make new pig iron) and I assure you they’re not any cleaner. You can scrub off-gasses all you want but at the end of the day iron is iron and coke is coke

The cleaner way is modern, upgraded scrubbers. Like they use everywhere else in the western world. They work, but cost more to run.

You can’t put scrubbers on a coke furnace like a coal plant.
