“Our plans could create thousands of new jobs in the Humber region, help the UK meet its carbon removals targets and support long-term energy security,” Gardiner said., after the project missed out on so-called track one status – the government’s first approval round for subsidies and development. Drax’s power station was originally a coal-fired plant, but the company has converted four of the six units to burn biomass wood pellets, which qualify for renewable energy subsidies.
