For several months, rumors have been circulating about the closure of the site's coking plant, which employs 230 to 250 people. "Given the investment plan envisaged to reduce our CO2 emissions by more than 30% by 2030, the need for coke should decrease and the Dunkirk site could be self-sufficient in the short term (2022-2023 ) ", Said in a statement the steel group. "The use of the Florange coking plant, initially planned until 2032, could be called into question," he added.
