It was very interesting and informative trip to Drax power station where the photography is allowed, and the tour guide one of the station seniors stated that Drax one of hand full state owned power station and converted to biomass fuel from coal 3 decades ago most of wood imported from Usa and Canda takes 3 weeks trip by huge company owned ships ones anchored at Port it loads to the station using special made train, 17 tones load aday 6 days aweek, full storge capcity can run the tunines 12 days only, there is bioenergy carbon capture and storge project but not cover the whole system it only lessen Co2 emissions of 2 turibnes only with efficiency of 90% ,coal stock still exists as energy shortage supply worldwide ,conversion projects enable former coal plants to continue operating cost efficiently with their existing supply, generation, and grid infrastructure. Unlike wind and solar energy, biomass is not dependent on grid expansion. Coal plants converted to biomass are 24/7 resources that contribute to security of supply even when the sun does not shine and the wind does not blow. This makes biomass a viable and reliable complement to intermittent renewable energy resources. In addition, coal assets are a highly valuable source of employment in communities. Biomass conversion preserves jobs both at the power station and along the supply chain.

An embarrassment to our Country. Subsidising this company is a scam. Clean virgin wood being used. A full scale investigation should be launched. Smaller companies using tractors as transport of logs using red diesel, damaging our roads and polluting the atmosphere
