Advantages

Steel Dynamics exclusively uses Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steel mill operations

Compared to traditional blast furnace producers worldwide

U.S. EAF mills generate a fraction of the carbon emissions produced and energy intensity required by blast furnace steelmaking.

SDI EAF mills use recycled metal to produce new steel, facilitating lower emissions, energy, waste and water usage.
