ClientEarth argues the project, if given the go-ahead, ‘will risk locking in high carbon energy on the grid until 2050’

The total renewable capacity on the grid has tripled over the last five years, standing at 42GW

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

It includes a portfolio of pumped storage, hydro and gas-fired generation plants

A total of 64 environmental organisations have said the government should not encourage the burning of gas at the plant

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

Carbon dioxide emissions from the facility could soon be captured and used to put the fizz in beer

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

It aims to mix its greenhouse gas emissions with a solvent to collect and store carbon dioxide

Protestors claim biomass can be as bad as or worse for the environment than coal and say it shouldn’t be classed as renewable energy
