CEO of UK-based energy supplier Drax shares how the company, formerly 100% reliant on coal, reduced its carbon emissions by 85%. Presented by ING_News

Will Gardiner is the CEO and chairperson of Drax, a UK-based energy company with goals to limit its reliance on coal.

It's the culmination of a broader shift by Drax to try and go green."Over the last decade Drax Power Station has transformed itself to become the largest decarbonization project in Europe by converting four of its generating units to use sustainable biomass instead of coal," Maudsley said. It's a method of extracting bioenergy from biomass, then capturing and storing the carbon, removing it from the atmosphere where it can wreak havoc."Our aim is to deliver our first BECCS unit by 2027, taking millions of tons of CO2 out of the atmosphere and safely storing it under the seabed," Maudsley said.
