Partners and key stakeholders joining British Steel on the route to Net Zero have welcomed its first steps towards green hydrogen use.
The Scunthorpe-headquartered manufacturing giant has secured government funding to back a six month feasibility study as it looks to fuel switch from natural gas to reheat furnaces.
It will focus on the Teesside Beam Mill, close to hydrogen production facilities being brought forward and energised by offshore wind and solar - and if successful will progress to industrial scale trial, before potential roll-out across operations.
