Description
Description | Drax biomass-fired power station in the UK recorded the highest power sector emissions in 2025, releasing 14.1 million tonnes of CO2e. Despite receiving nearly £999 million in public subsidies for biomass electricity generation, the station relies heavily on imported biomass feedstock, primarily from the US, Canada, and Europe. The existing subsidy arrangement ended in April 2026, with a revised subsidy scheme starting April 2027, capping biomass electricity generation and reducing emissions to an estimated 5.8 million tonnes of CO2e annually. |
