uin	HL3901
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/05/2024 answer text <p>Tata steel is making an investment of £1.25 billion, including a UK Government grant worth up to £500 million, in a new Electric Arc Furnace at the Port Talbot Steelworks. The electrification of steelmaking will significantly reduce the overall carbon footprint of the site which is currently the UK’s single largest emitter of CO<sub>2</sub>.</p><p> </p><p>The UK Government does not have a role in Tata Steel’s energy purchasing arrangements, and therefore cannot confirm the relevant energy sources they will choose to use. However, in recent months, renewables became the majority source of electricity generation for the first full quarter across Great Britain’s electricity grid and we are planning to decarbonise the electricity system by 2035, subject to security of supply.</p> answering member printed Lord Offord of Garvel question first answered 22/05/2024 11:08:53 answering member 4931 label Biography information for Lord Offord of Garvel
