SunCoke Energy, Inc. (SXC) reported total coke production of 5.6 million tons for 2023. “We continued to advance our foundry business by completing a foundry coke expansion project and expanding our market participation,” said Katherine Gates, president, SXC. “The extension of our Indiana Harbor coke contract with Cleveland-Cliffs for an additional 12 years positions our largest coke plant favorably for the future.”
