It will capture a tonne of CO2 a day from the gases produced when power is generated using biomass at Drax Power Station

The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) has warned the UK’s land must be used as a more effective carbon store and called for better use of biomass

The Committee on Climate Change said land must be better used to store carbon and ensure environmental impacts can be mitigated

It will cover the period from January 2017 to December 2022

It could help manage the hundreds of train movements each month and reduce the time needed to check-in fuel deliveries by up to six hours a day

The change will require projects to produce 95.9% less carbon than the EU fossil power average

It plans to replace its remaining two coal units with gas-fired power generation and battery storage

They say power stations importing wood pellets from the US are damaging the environment and biodiversity

UK scientists say replacing forests with crops for bioenergy power stations that capture carbon could instead increase the amount of emissions

The work will start in 2019 and take three years to complete
