Bechtel has entered into a partnership with renewable energy company Drax to identify opportunities to construct new Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) power plants around the world. About BECCS at Drax: International organizations – such as the International Energy Agency - recognize that BECCS is the most mature negative emissions technology. They estimate that approximately 1.3 GtCO2 of negative emissions from BECCS is required globally every year to reach net zero; Drax aims to deploy BECCS on two of its biomass generating units by 2030 capturing and permanently storing up to eight million tonnes of CO2 a year – a significant proportion of the 53MtCO2 of negative emissions from BECCS the UK's independent Climate Change Committee says are needed in order for the UK to reach its climate targets; Governments enhanced commitments to reduce emissions by 2035 and phase out coal, alongside the UNIPCC and recent IEA's reports, also reinforce how net zero is only achievable through negative emissions and sustainable BECCS; BECCS is the only negative emissions technology that generates power whilst also capturing and permanently storing carbon away.
