Net Zero Teesside has awarded a £5 million steel contract to Chinese firm Modern Modular Engineering and Construction Company, igniting criticism from UK Steel over the exclusion of domestic suppliers. The project, which aims to establish a gas-fired power station with carbon capture technology, is part of the UK government's decarbonization strategy and has a total estimated cost of £1.5 billion. Despite the backlash, Net Zero Teesside asserts its commitment to achieving over 50% UK content in its contracts.
