Could Teesside lead the way in carbon capture and storage? Credit: ITV News
Labour MPs for Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland, Tom Blenkinsop, and Redcar’s Anna Turley have called on the Government to step up its support for the Carbon Capture and Storage project on Teesside.
Tom and Anna have sent a joint letter to the Chancellor George Osborne ahead of the Spending Review and the Autumn Statement on 25th November.
They are asking him to "reassess the level of support and funding available to Teesside Collective's CCS project" in light of the closure of the steelworks in Redcar and the 700 announced job losses at Boulby Potash.
The MPs believe it offers a huge opportunity to not only protect remaining key industries, but to grow and become a global leader in this technology - and that will bring jobs.
