Drax power station, located in Yorkshire, currently produces 3,960MW of power split between six turbines of 660MW capacity. It has a rail loop on-site which will eventually deliver both coal and woody biomass feedstock for its system. It is believed to be the UK's single largest source of CO2, but Drax has been considering three ideas to drive carbon out of its production: 1) Upgrade the efficiency of the six turbines 2) Consider co-firing or move to 100% biomass 3) Look at carbon capture and storage (CSS) methods.
