Subsidies halved for controversial Drax power station - BBC Business

Quick Summary:

The government has agreed a new subsidy arrangement with the controversial wood-burning Drax power station in north Yorkshire.

But it told Panorama that 77% of the material for its Canadian wood pellets came from sawdust and sawmill residues, with the rest coming from forestry residues and low-grade logs.

Critics of the power station have called it one of the UK's leading emitters of the climate warming gas CO2, but Drax disputes that description.
