The money will also be used to help workers who have been made redundant by giving them access to training and qualifications in sectors where there are job vacancies.
A funding injection of £13.5m will be given to businesses and workers affected by job losses at Tata Steel, the government will announce. Up to 2,800 jobs at Tata Steel are expected to be axed at the country's biggest steelworks in Port Talbot as the company moves over to a greener form of steel production which requires fewer workers.
It said the move will cut carbon emissions by about 85% and the UK's overall CO2 output by about 1.5%. The Port Talbot site is the UK's single largest emitter of CO2. The new furnace will make steel by using UK-sourced scrap metal as its raw material. The iron ore that the furnaces currently use needs to be imported.
