European-based supermajors Equinor ASA and Shell plc are collaborating with United States Steel Corp. to advance “decarbonization opportunities” in the Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia region.

U.S. Steel, as it is known, said the cooperation agreement with Equinor US Holdings Inc. and Shell US Gas & Power LLC would include carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) projects, as well as hydrogen production and utilization. 

“Establishing a low carbon hub in this region could have a profound impact on both the climate and the economy, creating sustainable jobs that will support families for many years to come,” said Equinor’s Grete Tveit, senior vice president of  Low Carbon Solutions.
