Ex Ilva, verso spegnimento degli altiforni e stop dell'area a caldo

The Italian Supreme Court confirmed that the former Ilva plant in Taranto must shut down its blast furnaces and cease hot production activities by December 15, 2026. This deadline was contingent on the court's ruling, which has now been issued. The appointed commissioners will determine the specific technical steps and timeline for the shutdown. It is widely believed that once the blast furnaces are turned off, they cannot be reused, signaling the end for the hot area of the Taranto steelworks.
