Selby College to Develop BECCS Education Programme
(Bioenergy Insight) Selby College in North Yorkshire, UK has secured funding to develop an education programme that will enable Drax employees to develop the skills needed to operate climate-saving technologies.
The £272,000 (€320,000) grant from the Department for Education’s Strategic Development Fund, will allow the college to develop a new training course in carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, supporting Drax’s BECCS plans at its power station near Selby.
The course, starting next year, will equip both current and future Drax employees with the vital skills needed to operate this vital negative-emissions technology, ensuring the region is at the forefront of the green industrial revolution.
The programme will also be available to other organisations and individuals interested in developing their knowledge and understanding of CCS. The course is being designed as an introduction to the subject, with the aim of adding more modules and units over time. READ MORE
