itv.com/news/wales/2024-09-30/steelmaking-in-wales-ends-for-now-as-port-talbot-plant-closes-final-furnace

Quick Glance: Traditional Steelmaking in Wales Comes to a Close

Tata Steel has shut down the last blast furnace in Port Talbot, resulting in the loss of up to 3,000 jobs across the UK.

This closure signifies the end of primary steelmaking from raw materials in Wales and a shift towards greener electric arc furnace technology.

The UK government has pledged £500 million towards the transition to green steelmaking, with Tata investing £700 million.
