Drax chief says “safety net” needed in case CCS does not work

Drax chief executive Dorothy Thompson said the UK required “a safety net if CCS turns out not to be a panacea, and we need one that works now.” Writing in the Guardian on Tuesday 12 May she said: “If we, as a nation, are serious about abating carbon from coal and ensuring security of supply, then we need to do two things.” These were to cut emissions through strategies such as co-firing and raise generating capacity “in this decade, as well as in decades to come.”
