Tata Steel Accelerates Decarbonization at UK Plant, Switches to Electric Arc Furnace

Tata Steel is committed to completing the decarbonization of its UK plant within three years, as announced by CEO T V Narendran. The transition involves replacing the traditional blast furnace with a low-emission electric arc furnace (EAF), supported by a £1.25 billion investment jointly funded by Tata Steel and the UK government. This initiative is critical for maintaining the operational capacity of the 3 MTPA steelworks at Port Talbot, which employs about 8,000 people.
