EAST CHICAGO -- ArcelorMittal is receiving nearly $32 million from a U.S. Department of Energy grant to fund an industrial energy efficiency project at Indiana Harbor East in East Chicago. The project will install a new recovery boiler to use blast furnace gas generated from iron-making operations to produce electricity and steam on site. The company says the efficient boiler will capture emissions through flaring from the No. 7 blast furnace. The project is expected to help lower energy costs and per ton production costs by using about 46 billion cubic feet of gas that is flared annually. Link
