From Donald Simpson, Rochdale, Lancashire, UK
The proposals proclaiming Drax power station as potentially “carbon negative” seem to fall short in my view.
Even if Drax’s carbon emissions can be tackled using carbon capture and storage (CCS), there is no merit in fuelling the station by chopping down trees in North America and shipping the wood pellets made there to the UK to be burned. Better to leave the trees doing their own carbon sequestration and fuel a CCS Drax with gas instead.
