Wood from Canada and Scandinavia will be imported to be burnt in Britain’s largest power station as part of a plan to generate 10 per cent of its electricity from biomass.
Drax, the huge coal-fired power station near Selby in North Yorkshire that generates 7 per cent of all the UK’s electricity, has signed a deal with Alstom, the French engineering group, to build a £50 million “co-firing facility”, enabling it to burn biomass as well as coal in its boilers.
