LISLE,
Ill., April 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- SunCoke
Energy, Inc. (NYSE: SXC), the largest independent producer of
high-quality coke in the Americas, published its third annual
Sustainability Report.
SunCoke's 2021 Sustainability Report highlights the Company's
industry-leading practices prioritizing worker safety and
environmental impact. This commitment to employee health and safety
was underscored in 2021 when our internal COVID-19 task force
continued to implement guidance from federal, state, and local
agencies, ensuring employees well-being.
SunCoke leads the industry with environmentally efficient and
advanced technology, setting the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency's (EPA) Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT)
standards with its heat-recovery coke-making technology that
converts heat generated during the coking process into steam and/or
electricity, which is then sold to customers or the grid.
"The dedication of our team is clearly visible through our
safety record, operational excellence and record-setting 2021
financial results. Our commitment to environmental excellence has
always positioned us for long-term success as demonstrated by
strong environmental performance." said Michael Rippey, Chief Executive Officer. "In
2022, we plan to build on our ongoing climate scenario analysis,
evaluate GHG emission reduction targets, continue to integrate the
recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial
Disclosures (TCFD), conduct a technical feasibility study for
carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technology and continue our
strong focus on research and development."
