BECCS Project Will Use Supply Chain Management Software

The largest decarbonization project in Europe is following a sustainable approach. Drax, the leading UK provider of biomass-based electricity, submitted plans to construct the largest bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) operation at its North Yorkshire power station.

Working with its engineering, procurement, and construction management partner (EPCM) Worley, Drax will build two BECCS units using the fully digital supply chain management platform from Requis.

In addition, 80% of the project materials and services will be locally sourced to support regional economies and improve supply-chain processes and logistics.

The BECCS project will create 10,000 jobs across the region during construction. Once operational, the two BECCS units will permanently remove 8 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) annually.
