Drax Group has submitted plans to build the world’s largest carbon capture facility at its North Yorkshire power station.
The company plans to invest £2 billion this decade to develop two units, creating and supporting thousands of jobs, and enabling the UK to lead the world in a vital new technology needed to address the climate crisis.
Work to build bioenergy with carbon capture and storage could start as soon as 2024. Once operational they would capture at least eight million tonnes of CO2 per year.
