British Steel could be set to supply power giant Drax with 13,000 tonnes of steel to build its world-leading carbon capture infrastructure.
An agreement has been signed by the two huge regional industrial operators to explore the opportunities around the emission-busting project.
Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage would complete a huge transformation at Drax, taking it from a reliance on fossil fuels to a carbon negative position as a sustainable biomass-fuelled plant and feedstock producer.
