Power station's further reporting failure exposed by BBC

Quick Summary:

Drax, which burns wood pellets, is required to report where it sources its wood from.

Nearly all the industrial logging that takes place in the interior of the province is from "woodland of native species where there is no clearly visible indication of human activities and the ecological processes are not significantly disturbed", the wording used by Ofgem to define primary forests.

The company says it does not own forests or sawmills, no longer bids for logging licences and has stopped sourcing wood from some sites, where the British Columbia government has asked companies to pause further logging.
