Reports say the Italian government is pushing for the conversion of Ilva, Italy’s largest steel mill in Taranto, to electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking. Nevertheless, the market still has questions over investment funding, future production capacity and raw material supply security.
Formerly known as Ilva, the plant is currently operated by Acciaierie d’Italia. The Italian government placed it under special national administration in February 2024 to safeguard local jobs and seek a new buyer. However, due to asbestos contamination and fine particulate matter emissions, a court has ordered the mill to shut down its blast furnaces by October 28.
