British Steel has revealed a decarbonisation plan that could result in the loss of 2,000 jobs in Scunthorpe, according to unions.
The Chinese-owned company confirmed it was to shut down its blast furnaces and replace them with two cheaper, greener electric arc furnaces - one in Scunthorpe and the other on Teesside where it has two mills. Teesside lost its main steelworks in 2015 when the Redcar plant was mothballed with the loss of 1,700 jobs. Jingye Group said its plans were aimed at making UK-produced steel competitive again and creating a sustainable future for the business.
'Detailed studies show electrification could rapidly accelerate our journey to net zero and drive British Steel towards a sustainable future.' The new furnaces could be operational by late 2025, the company added. The decision is set to leave the country without an industrial grade steel manufacturing capability.
