SunCoke Energy

About SunCoke Energy (adapted from SunCoke Energy prospectus):
SunCoke is the largest independent producer of high-quality metallurgical coke in the Americas. Metallurgical coke is a principal raw material in the integrated steelmaking process. They have designed, developed and built, and currently own and operate four metallurgical cokemaking facilities in the United States and designed and operate one cokemaking facility in Brazil. A fifth U.S. facility is currently under construction and is expected to be completed in the second half of 2011. Upon its completion, expected cokemaking capacity will increase to approximately 4.2 million tons of coke per year in the United States.

SunCoke is the technological leader in cokemaking. The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 specifically directed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, to evaluate SunCoke's heat recovery coke oven technology as a basis for establishing Maximum Achievable Control Technology, or MACT, standards for new cokemaking facilities.

In conducting their cokemaking operations, they market principally towards steelmaking facilities that require high quality metallurgical coke for their blast furnaces.
