What would happen to LCE’s petroleum coke if LCE did not use it?
The United States exports about 70% of the petroleum coke it makes to many countries, especially China, India, and Brazil. In many of these countries, the petcoke is burned with little or no pollution controls. LCE will cleanly convert this byproduct fuel into clean natural gas for use in New York State. Keeping this valuable energy source in the United States will also help reduce the burning of high-sulfur fuel by ships transporting petcoke overseas.
