Government Support for Steel Workers: The UK government has improved redundancy terms for 2,500 Tata Steel workers facing job losses and committed to a £500 million investment to help decarbonize the Port Talbot site, while also planning an additional £2.5 billion investment in the steel industry.
Future of Steel Production: Tata Steel will close its blast furnaces and transition to electric arc furnace technology, which is expected to reduce carbon emissions significantly, while promising to retain 5,000 jobs across its UK operations and evaluate future investments in the sector.
