Drax is set to be one of the first power stations in the world to be fitted with BECCS – bioenergy with carbon capture and storage. BECCS is the most scalable negative emissions technology available today to remove Co2 from the atmosphere.

It’s a project that can put the UK and Yorkshire at the forefront of the fight against climate change and help position the UK as a world leader in carbon removal technology.
