Will Gardiner, CEO of Drax Group, talks with Alex about the post-COP landscape and what needs to happen to complete the first BECCS project in the UK. 

Will Gardiner has been a key architect of Drax Group’s strategy to create a flexible, low-carbon, customer-focused power company. Alex and Will talk about the results from COP26, but also what’s needed next to keep the goal of 1.5 alive. They explore a little of what’s needed from international policy, how Drax’s global operations are expanding to meet the decarbonization opportunity and Will’s thoughts on renewables, voluntary carbon markets and the need for more support of permanent removal technologies.
