Ar gyfer ei ymweliad swyddogol cyntaf fel Gweinidog yr Economi, ymunodd Vaughan Gething heddiw ag ail gyfarfod Cyngor Dur y DU. Fforwm newydd ei ailsefydlu yw’r Cyngor lle gall y llywodraeth, y diwydiant ac undebau llafur weithio gyda’i gilydd i wireddu’u hamcan cytûn o greu cynllun tymor hir cyraeddadwy ar gyfer helpu’r sector i drawsnewid ar gyfer dyfodol cystadleuol, cynaliadwy a charbon isel.


Mae nifer o heriau’n dal i wynebu’r sector dur, gan gynnwys yr angen i leihau ei allyriadau carbon, prisiau trydan uchel y DU a phroblemau masnachu.


Yn ôl UK Steel, mae diwydiant dur y DU yn cyflogi 33,700 o bobl yn ogystal â chynnal 42,000 o swyddi eraill yn y gadwyn gyflenwi.


Gwnaeth sector Diwydiant a Busnes Cymru allyrru 14\.0 miliwn tunnell o Garbon Deuocsid a’i gyfatebol (MTCO2e) yn 2018\. Hynny yw, 36% o holl allyriadau nwyon tŷ gwydr Cymru yn 2018\.  O fewn y sector Diwydiant a Busnes, diwydiant haearn a dur Cymru oedd yn gyfrifol am 43% (6\.01 MTCO2e) o holl allyriadau’r sector yn 2018\.


Dywedodd Gweinidog yr Economi, Vaughan Gething:


“Mae gan ddiwydiant dur Cymru hanes hir a lle balch yn nhirwedd ddiwydiannol y wlad.  Mae’n dal i fod yn hanfodol bwysig i’n heconomi, a bydd yn rhan o adferiad yr economi.  Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo i sicrhau bod gan ddur Cymru ddyfodol cryf a chynaliadwy.


“Wrth i ni gamu allan o’r argyfwng Covid, ein heriau mawr nesaf yw adferiad economaidd Cymru, ac argyfwng yr hinsawdd.  Bydda’ i’n rhoi fy sylw nawr ar helpu cwmnïau dur yng Nghymru i drawsnewid i ddyfodol carbon isel.  Ond bydd angen partneriaeth gref arnom â Llywodraeth y DU, o gofio’r sbardunau economaidd sydd ganddi sy’n allweddol i ddadgarboneiddio’r diwydiant.



> “Mae gen i neges glir i gyfarfod Cyngor Dur y DU heddiw; rhaid i ni i gyd weithio gyda’n gilydd mewn partneriaeth \- llywodraethau Cymru a’r DU, y diwydiant dur a’r undebau – i sicrhau bod y trawsnewid hwn yn digwydd er mwyn inni allu adeiladu Cymru sy’n decach, yn wyrddach ac yn fwy llewyrchus.”

In his first official engagement as Economy Minister, Vaughan Gething today attended the second meeting of the re\-established UK Steel Council, the forum for government, industry and trade unions to work in partnership on the shared objective of creating an achievable, long\-term plan to support the sector’s transition to a competitive, sustainable and low carbon future.


The steel sector continues to face a number of challenges including the need to reduce carbon emissions, high UK electricity prices and issues around trade.  


According to UK Steel, 33,700 people are directly employed by the UK steel industry with a further 42,000 further jobs supported in the supply chain.


In 2018, Industry and Business sector emissions in Wales were 14\.0 Million Tonnes of Carbon Dioxide equivalent (MTCO2e). This represents 36% of total Welsh greenhouse gas emissions in 2018\. Within the Industry and Business sector, the Welsh iron and steel industry represented 43% (6\.01 MTCO2e) of the sector total emissions in 2018


Economy Minister, Vaughan Gething said:



> “The steel industry in Wales has a long history and a proud place in our nation’s industrial landscape. It remains vitally important to our economy, and will be part of our economic recovery. The Welsh Government is committed to ensuring Welsh steel has a strong and sustainable future.
> 
> 
> “As we emerge from the Covid crisis, our next big challenges are to secure Wales’ economic recovery, and to tackle the climate crisis. My focus will be on helping Wales\-based steel companies to transition to a low carbon future. But we need a strong partnership with the UK Government, given the significant economic levers it holds, which are key to industrial decarbonisation.
> 
> 
> “My message at today’s meeting of the UK Steel Council was clear: we must all work in partnership \- the Welsh and UK governments, the steel industry and with the unions \- to deliver this transition, which will help us build a fairer, greener and more prosperous Wales.”
