Will Gardiner, Drax Group CEO, commented: “Climate change is the biggest threat to our planet – but if we take steps now the UK could lead the world in pioneering CCUS, needed to meet our climate targets. Supporting the development of the CCUS industry in the UK will generate jobs and economic growth here whilst creating new export opportunities, helping other countries to make the progress needed to meet global climate targets.
