Energy firm Drax is to pilot the first bioenergy carbon capture storage (BECCS) project of its kind in Europe.
If successful, this project could make the renewable electricity produced at Drax’s power station in North Yorkshire, UK, carbon negative.

This means power generation would no longer contribute to climate change but would start to reduce the carbon accumulating in the atmosphere.
