Iron resolve: steel town unites to fight for its furnaces
As Scunthorpe faces 2,000 job losses in a move to greener tech, MPs and unions fear for workers and a strategic UK industry.
British Steel's plans to axe more than 2,000 jobs in Scunthorpe, out of a workforce of about 3,800, in a shift to greener technology.
The steel industry must decarbonise if the UK is to hit its target of net zero additions of carbon to the atmosphere by 2050. Scunthorpe's sister plant, the Port Talbot steelworks in south Wales, is the UK's biggest single emitter, producing 5.7m tonnes of carbon last year, while the north Lincolnshire site is the third biggest, producing 4m tonnes, or about 1% of the UK's annual total, according to government data.
Last week, Chinese-owned British Steel announced it planned to close Scunthorpe's blast furnaces in favour of electric arc furnaces, which it hopes to build by late 2025.
Tata Steel, Port Talbot's Indian owner, is considering a similar plan to close its two furnaces as soon as March, with 3,000 job losses.

British Steel have announced that their Coal powered Furnaces will be closed and replaced by Electirc Arch Furnaces by 2015 in order to transition to a greener production of steel. Electric Arch furnaces will require fewer workers and at present cannot produce high grade steel. Scunthorpe

Iron resolve: steel town unites to fight for its furnaces
As Scunthorpe faces 2,000 job losses in a move to greener tech, MPs and unions fear for workers and a strategic UK industry.
British Steel's plans to axe more than 2,000 jobs in Scunthorpe, out of a workforce of about 3,800, in a shift to greener technology.
The steel industry must decarbonise if the UK is to hit its target of net zero additions of carbon to the atmosphere by 2050. Scunthorpe's sister plant, the Port Talbot steelworks in south Wales, is the UK's biggest single emitter, producing 5.7m tonnes of carbon last year, while the north Lincolnshire site is the third biggest, producing 4m tonnes, or about 1% of the UK's annual total, according to government data.
Last week, Chinese-owned British Steel announced it planned to close Scunthorpe's blast furnaces in favour of electric arc furnaces, which it hopes to build by late 2025.

Iron resolve: steel town unites to fight for its furnaces
As Scunthorpe faces 2,000 job losses in a move to greener tech, MPs and unions fear for workers and a strategic UK industry.
British Steel's plans to axe more than 2,000 jobs in Scunthorpe, out of a workforce of about 3,800, in a shift to greener technology.
The steel industry must decarbonise if the UK is to hit its target of net zero additions of carbon to the atmosphere by 2050. Scunthorpe's sister plant, the Port Talbot steelworks in south Wales, is the UK's biggest single emitter, producing 5.7m tonnes of carbon last year, while the north Lincolnshire site is the third biggest, producing 4m tonnes, or about 1% of the UK's annual total, according to government data.
Last week, Chinese-owned British Steel announced it planned to close Scunthorpe's blast furnaces in favour of electric arc furnaces, which it hopes to build by late 2025.
Tata Steel, Port Talbot's Indian owner, is considering a similar plan to close its two furnaces as soon as March, with 3,000 job losses.
Charlotte Bumpton-Childs, National Officer for Steel, GMB Union.
British Steel have announced that their Coal powered Furnaces will be closed and replaced by Electirc Arch Furnaces by 2015 in order to transition to a greener production of steel. Electric Arch furnaces will require fewer workers and at present cannot produce high grade steel. Scunthorpe
