The UK government said Friday that it would provide £500 million ($621 million) to fund the production of "greener" steel at the country's biggest steelworks but that 3,000 jobs were still at risk. Port Talbot steelworks is the UK's single biggest carbon emitter, and the government has been looking to help British Steel and Indian-owned Tata Steel to replace dirty blast furnaces.
