Steel News – Late January 2026
Estimated reading time 1 minute
UK Steel has today responded to reports that a contract for around 7,000 tonnes of steel for the Net Zero Teesside project worth approximately £5m has been awarded to a Chinese supplier, despite the project receiving substantial taxpayer backing and support as part of the UK’s major decarbonisation programme.
Net Zero Teesside is among the UK’s highest-profile clean energy infrastructure initiatives, designed to deliver a world-first large-scale gas-fired power station with carbon capture and storage, backed by the government and supporting thousands of jobs and investment in the Teesside region.
