About the board
The Independent Advisory Board (IAB) was established in 2019 to provide independent scientific challenge, insight and advice on our biomass sustainability.
The IAB focuses explicitly on the science that supports our strategy for each of the three pillars of our Sustainability Framework – Climate, Nature and People positive – and in particular the biomass sustainability that underpins these.
Board members
“Much of the evidence related to the use of biomass to generate electricity and to extract carbon from the atmosphere by Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) is contested. The IAB’s job is to advise Drax on the state of the scientific evidence and to act as a “critical friend” in helping to ensure that their use of biomass is as sustainable as possible.”
