The contract will see Drax license MHI’s carbon capture solvent, KS-21, to capture CO2 at its power station near Selby, North Yorkshire. Drax has already created the largest decarbonisation project in Europe, having converted its power station to use sustainable biomass instead of coal, reducing its emissions by more than 85%, the companies said. By deploying bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) technology, Drax aims at becoming carbon negative by 2030.
