Drax

The £400k pilot is using C-Capture’s innovative technology to capture a tonne of CO2 a day from the gases produced when power is generated using biomass

It will use the cash to further develop its technology, which removes carbon emissions from power stations and cement, steel and aluminium facilities

The firm has bought the Spanish Energy company’s portfolio of flexible, low carbon and renewable assets

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

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
