Dutch Subsidy Decision for Tata Steel Nederland’s Furnace Replacement
By 30 September, the Dutch government will decide on billions in subsidies for Tata Steel. The Hague has pledged up to €2 billion for direct reduction and an electric arc furnace at IJmuiden, with phase one replacing Blast Furnace 7 and Coke Plant 2. Emission limits have been exceeded for years with penalties and expired deadlines, while ETS and CBAM push requirements to 2040.
