About this project
The description is as the source gives it.
The project involves electrifying the melting process at AMERICAN Cast Iron Pipe Company's facility in Birmingham, Alabama, by replacing a traditional cupola furnace with four coreless induction furnaces. This upgrade eliminates the use of coke derived from coal, significantly reducing carbon dioxide emissions from the melt process by an estimated 95% and overall facility CO2e emissions by 62%. The initiative enhances production capacity, improves air quality, and supports sustainable manufacturing of ductile iron pipes for water infrastructure.
Statuses, countries and reductions are as the public source states them, and may be out of date.
