🏭DOE Adds Metallurgical Coal to Critical Materials List for Steelmaking

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is issuing this notice to advise the public that DOE has added metallurgical coal used for steelmaking to the DOE Critical Material List. This notice also provides the link to the assessment that forms the justification for including metallurgical coal used in steelmaking on the Critical Material List. Meeting the policy goal of U.S. steel dominance will require dramatic increases in domestic metallurgical coal production and use and thereby supports the determination that metallurgical coal used for steelmaking is a DOE critical material.
