The 4-gigawatt Drax Power Station, located in North Yorkshire, England, is the UK’s single largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, and provides 7% of the country’s electricity.
Drax is currently building an £80m co-firing facility to burn biomass alongside coal, which would allow biomass to account for 10% of its power output by mid-2010.
Last year, Drax unveiled plans to invest £2bn building three dedicated biomass power plants totalling nearly 900MW.
