So why do we think carbon capture should NOT be funded at the expense of genuine climate solutions?
First, there are technical issues and it is still unproven - it is a massive gamble!
Second, new gas projects (including 'blue hydrogen') + CCS bring big problems with methane emissions.

There are real climate solutions out there. We need to be investing in renewable energy, energy efficiency measures such as insulation and large-scale energy storage.
BECCS is a dangerous hoax.

BECCS combines the problems of forest destruction, the emissions from shipping wood pellets AND the problems of trying to capture carbon. Carbon capture has a record of repeated failure and underachievement.
Capturing CO2 also uses 20-30% of a power plant’s generating capacity, requiring more fuel!

Ministerial statement on Drax here - and it's clear much of the battle ahead will be around that word 'unabated'. There is still an open door for BECCS (bioenergy with carbon capture and storage).
BECCS is NOT a clean energy solution...
