Drax owner plans to be world's first carbon-negative business

Energy firm once labelled western Europe's top polluter sets ambitious 10-year target

An energy company once labelled western Europe's biggest polluter is planning to become the world's first carbon-negative business within 10 years.

The owner of the Drax power plant, once a coal-fired behemoth, is the first company in the world to set out plans to absorb more carbon emissions from the air than it creates by 2030.
