Tata Steel has submitted its planning application for a proposed electric arc furnace at the Port Talbot steelworks.
The steelworks closed its blast furnaces on 29 September after 11 years, cutting 2,000 jobs.
The company said the electric furnace plan was a “significant step in the company’s commitment to decarbonising its steel production”.
Neath Port Talbot council will decide on the plan in early 2025 after a review and consultation on the project.
