#1610 of 1649
Yieh United Steel Corp, based in Taiwan, runs heavy industry such as steel, cement, chemicals or aluminium. Climate TRACE attributes 1 high-emitting asset to it. Its largest tracked activities are steel making.
1High-temperature heatIndustrial furnaces burn large amounts of fuel for process heat.
2Process emissionsSome reactions (e.g. making cement clinker) release CO₂ directly, on top of fuel use.
3Traps heatThe combined CO₂ adds to global warming.

Signals below are derived from emissions data and ownership coverage only — not from any legal or regulatory finding.
Permitted Emissions
These emissions appear to occur under existing permits and regulations. Operating legally is not the same as operating cleanly.
Hard-to-Abate Process Emissions
Cement, steel and similar processes emit CO₂ from the chemical reaction itself, not only from burning fuel — making them hard to fully decarbonise.
Improving Trajectory
Attributed emissions are falling (~1%/yr) — an improving trajectory, though absolute output remains large.
Low Measurement Confidence
Measurement confidence for this entity is low; figures are best-available estimates.
No Verified Enforcement or Lobbying Record
This dataset contains no verified enforcement actions, lobbying records, subsidies, or litigation for this entity. Absence of evidence here is not evidence of compliance or of any violation.
Climate Villains makes no claim that any entity has broken any law. These are data-derived signals, not allegations.
📈Trend▾

Attributed emissions are roughly stable year on year. Attributed emissions, 2022–2024.
It ranks #1610 mainly because its attributed assets emitted about 187.5 kt CO₂e in 2024 (≈ 40.8k cars/yr).
The Climate Damage Score is driven by that absolute size on a log scale, with a -0.1-point flat adjustment.

Data confidence
How sure we are about the measurement. A low score doesn't lower the polluter's rank — it just shows the data is fuzzier.

What we know
Attributed emissions: 187.5 kt CO₂e in 2024 (≈ 40.8k cars/yr).
Exact ownership percentages — Climate TRACE lists owners but not stakes, so shared assets are split equally.
Indirect (supply-chain / financed / product-use) emissions are not included.
No PR claims, lobbying records, litigation history or policy-compliance data are included.
