1 年A serious question to Drax. Suppose a new NL Governement would decide to buy and nationalize the 3 almost new coal power plants (3,5 GigaWatt) with the intention to asap convert them to bio-power untill end of life with a new BECCS for negative CO2 emission. A lot cheaper, faster and a substantial temporary extra reduction of CO2 rather than a crazy plan of 2 new nuclear power plants, which will turn out to be unneccessary by the time they will realistically be in operation. Who would you suggest to be contracted to manage the conversion, the BECCS project management and to excecute the operation, maintenance for say 25 years? Frans Timmermans Rob Jetten Diederik Samsom
