This may be old news to some here, but seen on Countryfile, Sunday evening. BBC i-player, approx 25 mins from start. Ignore the Heathrow bit at the beginning. Two massive storage silos being constructed. 3 out of 6 units at Drax will be converted to burning biomass in the next few years, consuming 7 million tonnes of wood and other biomass per year. 10% will be locally sourced, but remaining 90% will come from US/Canada. Amount of CO2 emitted saving 70 - 80% of current emission (I can't believe I heard that right, or if I did, that that was what the chap meant. CO2 emissions 70 - 80% of current, I could believe, but not _saving_ 70 - 80%). Environmentally concerned lady from RSPB not impressed.
I thought the scheme had been axed as of 12 months ago as not financially viable. See
