Background
The Cleveland-Cliffs Toledo DRI plant began operating in June 2020.[1] The $1 billion project was proposed in 2017 and began construction in 2018.[2] According to Cleveland-Cliffs, the plant was built to produce more steel in the United States and reduce the reliance on imported steel.[3] The Toledo DRI plant is part of Cleveland-Cliffs sustainability strategy, the only raw materials at the plant are natural gas and DR-grade iron ore pellets and produces less greenhouse gases compared to other energy sources that utilize coal or coke as the reductant source.[4]
