Drax: UK power station still burning rare forest wood
Feburary 27, 2024
By Joe Crowley, BBC Panorama"A power company that has received £6bn in UK green subsidies has kept burning wood from some of the world's most precious forests, the BBC has found.
"Papers obtained by #Panorama show #Drax took timber from rare #forests in #Canada it had claimed were 'no-go areas'.
"It comes as the government decides whether to give the firm's Yorkshire site billions more in environmental subsidies funded by energy bill payers.
"Drax says its wood pellets are 'sustainable and legally harvested'.
"The #DraxPowerStation, near Selby in North Yorkshire, is a converted coal plant which burns wood pellets. In 2023, it produced about 5% of the UK's electricity. The site has become a key part of the government's drive to meet its climate targets.
"Its owner, Drax, receives money from energy bill payers because the electricity produced from burning pellets is classified as renewable and treated as emission-free."

#Greenwashing isn’t exactly new, and it’s found in many #industries .
While many #sports organisations make declarations about their #greenness , the most scrutinised are those with the highest profiles: #FIFA ’s World Cup and the #Olympics . On #examination , it seems that some of the #claims made by the organisers of recent and upcoming events are #questionable, at least.
