Project Benefits

The Ironside Energy CHP facility allows Cleveland-Cliffs to capture and beneficially use practically all of the byproduct gas that would otherwise be flared, thereby producing useful electricity and reducing net pollution into the environment. The United States Environmental Protection Agency recognized Ironside Energy's operations for high environmental efficiency since 2007. The plant produced 270,000 fewer tons of carbon dioxide when compared to other plants using separate heat and power sources.
