Description

UKs Net Zero Teesside project, aiming to be the worlds first gas-fired power station with carbon capture, faces criticism for potential reliance on Chinese steel.

The plant, set to start operation in 2028, highlights the challenge of balancing global sourcing and domestic job growth in the pursuit of net zero goals.
