SunCoke Energy, Inc.

SunCoke is a raw material processing and handling company serving steel and power customers, with principal businesses in cokemaking and coal logistics.

Cokemaking

Coke is an essential ingredient in blast furnace production of steel.

Globally, we have 6.3 million tons of annual cokemaking capacity.  Our 4.2 million tons of U.S. capacity represents about 25 percent of the U.S. and Canadian markets, with U.S. facilities in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Virginia, and international operations in Brazil and India. In addition to Cokemaking, our innovative heat-recovery cokemaking technology captures excess heat for steam or electrical power generation.

Our long-term, take-or-pay contracts contain key provisions for pass-through of coal, operating and transportation costs, insulating us from commodity price volatility. SunCoke receives a fixed fee per ton of coke produced, and none of our contracts expire before 2020
