Negative emissions strategy must align with UK clean energy mission<\/p>\n

With Drax\u2019s carbon capture project delayed<\/a>, this is the moment for a reset to ensure the negative emissions strategy prioritises solutions that are homegrown, reliable and deliver value-for-money. This means assessing a wide range of removal methods through targeted UK trials, ranging from technological \u2013 such as direct air capture with solar and storage \u2013 to nature-based.<\/p>\n
