President Trump signed a Proclamation granting two years of regulatory relief from Biden-era EPA emissions standards for coke oven facilities critical to steel production. The exemption allows operations to comply alongside previous standards, preventing closures in a sector supplying metallurgical coke for 70% of domestic steel manufacturing. The administration argues the Biden standards impose unattainable requirements using technologies not yet commercially viable, threatening jobs, production capacity, & national security through increased foreign dependence.
