The day Port Talbot turned off its cloud machine ☁️

Coke was produced for the last time ever in the UK on Wednesday 20 March at Tata Steel’s Port Talbot plant in South Wales.

Tata Steel UK has now officially begun the decommissioning of its Morfa Coke Ovens after almost half a century of coke production in Port Talbot.

Works Manager Dean Cartwright said: “All things must come to an end, and while this reality is difficult to digest, today, the plant’s deteriorating performance has given us no choice but to cease operations at the ovens and its adjoining By-Products plant.”
