On the level: VEGA measures biomass levels at Drax Power, providing efficient fuel stock management

摘要

Drax Power Station in North Yorkshire is already the largest, cleanest and most efficient coal-fired power station in the country. Already home to the largest biomass co-firing facility in the world commissioned in 2010, in which sustainable biomass is burnt alongside coal to produce electricity, Drax has ambitions to become a predominantly biomass fuelled generator. Not only does its investment in biomass co-firing strengthen its environmental leadership position, but it further enhances its reputation to stay at the forefront of developments to establish effective alternative fuel technologies for electricity generation in the UK. Electricity generation from biomass is a low carbon technology delivering significant carbon dioxide savings compared to fossil fuel generation.
