Tata Steel UK’s proposal to build a £1.25 billion electric arc furnace steelmaking facility at Port Talbot in South Wales received approval from Neath Port Talbot Council’s Planning Committee on Tuesday.

The planning application to the Neath Port Talbot Council's Planning Committee sought permission to construct an Electric Arc Furnace, two new Ladle Metallurgy Furnaces for secondary steelmaking, and supporting infrastructure.

A plan to save British Steel’s Scunthorpe plant and keep the blast furnaces on during the transition to greener steelmaking has been put forward by the Community trade union.

The transition from conventional blast furnace steelmaking to EAF technology will reduce direct on-site CO₂ emissions by 90%
