:00:18. > :00:25.It will go towards a carbon capture and storage project and could also

:00:26. > :00:30.Friends of the Earth say the money would be better spent

:01:09. > :01:11.Drax should be the first of many projects right across the UK that

:01:12. > :01:13.can create good quality, sustainable high`quality jobs as well as helping

:01:14. > :01:17.Drax is getting 300 million euros for this carbon capture project

:01:18. > :01:25.But the campaign group Friends of the Earth argues there should be

:01:26. > :01:33.a move away from using fosshl fuels like coal at all.

:01:34. > :01:35.We have concerns that there is a lot of investment going

:01:36. > :01:38.into carbon capture storage and not enough going into energy

:01:39. > :01:47.We can power her country by the end of the next decade from rendwables.

:01:48. > :01:50.`` our country. We should bd putting our money into that instead.

:01:56. > :01:57.We are told that will provide what they are calling clean electricity

:01:58. > :02:06.Well earlier I spoke to Petdr Emery who is chairman of Capture Power,

:02:07. > :02:10.the company set up to oversde the project.

:02:11. > :02:13.The European money represents less than a third of that requirdd so I

:02:47. > :02:54.Our view is that carbon capture storage could be one of the lowest

:02:55. > :03:06.Low`carbon, also very flexible, will help manage the good

:03:07. > :03:08.Low`carbon, also very flexible, will help manage the grid

:03:09. > :03:10.and will significantly reduce the cost of decarbonising

:03:11. > :03:14.So we would disagree profoundly with their view.

:03:15. > :03:15.It's already been several ydars in the planning.

:03:30. > :03:32.engineering work, do the procurement work, work with banks to rahse the

:03:33. > :03:39.Then it will take us between four and five years to build

:03:40. > :03:41.it, so you're looking at about 2020, perhaps slightlx earlier
