# Hyundai-POSCO Louisiana Steel integrated steel plant Publisher: CapexCue Canonical dossier: Dossier reference: release 1 (8d6a8c22-6c2a-4364-ae3b-19e00678f1c2) Released project intelligence Oldest supporting observation: 2026-10-17T20:07:10.137818+00:00 Dossier released: 2026-10-18T06:18:58.843688+00:00 Source report dates and capture dates are listed per fact below; neither establishes an event date. ## Project summary A Danieli article dated 4 May 2026 describes a planned integrated EAF steel plant in Louisiana, USA, intended to produce hot-rolled slabs primarily for automotive grades. The article reports Danieli contracts for meltshop, casting and reheating equipment, and selection of the Tenova-Danieli ENERGIRON consortium for the direct-reduction plant. These reported awards do not establish that other packages remain available for procurement. ## Evidence limits and unknowns - The article gives Louisiana as the location but does not specify a city or site. - The supplied article does not state the project budget, construction or commissioning schedule, or a procurement window. Current purchasing availability: unknown. Source-dated plans do not establish current progress or available supplier packages. ## Project metadata Country: United States Region: North America Physical assets: Carbon Capture, Steelmaking Derived from the exact released evidence; unresolved fields remain unclassified. ## Project category Industrial processes Derived from the reviewed scope statement; delivery stage remains unclassified. Planned fully integrated, EAF-based steel mill producing high-quality hot-rolled slabs primarily for low-carbon, value-added automotive grades. The meltshop is designed to feed casting at 2.88 Mtpy; the direct-reduction plant has a nominal capacity of 2.5 mtpy. The DRP is described as hydrogen future-ready and equipped with carbon-capture technology.
