United States Steel

United States Steel (US Steel), a key player in the Iron and Steel Mills and Ferroalloy Manufacturing industry headquartered in the US, has established significant climate commitments alongside its emissions reporting.

For the reporting year 2024, US Steel reported Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalling approximately 25.6 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, the company's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 27.23 billion kg CO2e, and its Scope 2 market-based emissions were approximately 2.28 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions in 2023 were also reported, with purchased goods and services accounting for around 9.36 billion kg CO2e, fuel and energy-related activities at approximately 5.19 billion kg CO2e, and upstream transportation and distribution at about 1.02 billion kg CO2e. Capital goods contributed approximately 390 million kg CO2e, and employee commute was around 13.4 million kg CO2e.

US Steel has set an ambitious goal to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Furthermore, the company is working towards a 20% reduction in GHG emissions intensity (Scope 1 plus Scope 2) by 2030, using its 2018 baseline of 2.31 metric tons CO2e per metric ton of raw steel as a reference. Additional targets include a 25% reduction in Scope 2 GHG emissions intensity by 2030. These targets apply to US Steel's global operations.

It is important to note that US Steel's emissions data is cascaded from United States Steel Corporation, where it holds the role of a current subsidiary (cascade level 2). Some initiatives, such as SBTi and CA100, are inherited from Nippon Steel Corporation.
