路易斯安那州阿森松堂区唐纳森维尔市现代-浦项钢铁厂10月29日获最终空气许可：年产270万吨、目标2029年第一季度投产
路易斯安那州环境质量部10月29日批准了现代-浦项路易斯安那钢铁公司拟建钢厂的最终空气许可，为这座位于阿森松堂区莫德斯特地区的钢厂扫清了一项关键监管障碍。
该项目于9月4日举行奠基仪式，厂址占地1700英亩，所在的河畔综合大园区沿密西西比河北侧延伸、总占地17000英亩。按规划，钢厂年产钢铁270万吨，目标2029年第一季度投产，建设工期持续至2028年底，预计带来1300多个长期岗位。
项目也面临环保组织和社区组织的反对，塞拉俱乐部等团体对空气污染、社区影响和公共财政补贴提出关切，并呼吁进一步电气化和作出坚定的绿氢承诺。
9月，路易斯安那州债券委员会已批准为该项目提供最高13亿美元的免税融资。州监管部门的许可意味着项目可以继续推进建设，但并不等于钢厂已经投产，环保方面的争议也未就此解决。
Hyundai-POSCO Louisiana Steel Mill Wins Final Air Permit: 2.7 Million Tons a Year, Production Targeted for Early 2029
The Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality approved the final air permit on October 29 for Hyundai-POSCO Louisiana Steel's proposed steel mill, clearing a key regulatory hurdle for the plant planned for the Modeste area of Ascension Parish.
The project broke ground on September 4. The plant site covers 1,700 acres within the RiverPlex MegaPark, which stretches along the Mississippi River over a total of 17,000 acres. As planned, the mill will produce 2.7 million metric tons of steel a year, targets a start of operations in the first quarter of 2029, with construction running through the end of 2028, and is expected to create more than 1,300 permanent jobs.
The project also faces opposition from environmental and community organizations. Groups including the Sierra Club have raised concerns about air pollution, community impact and public financial subsidies, and have called for further electrification and a firm green hydrogen commitment. In September, the Louisiana State Bond Commission approved up to $1.3 billion in tax-exempt financing for the project. The state regulators' permit allows the project to keep moving forward into construction, but it does not mean the mill is in production, and the environmental dispute remains unresolved.
