U.K.'s Largest Coal-Fired Power Plant Could Switch to Biomass Within 10 Years. By Tim Webb, Guardian (UK), August 3, 2010. "Drax, Britain's largest emitter of carbon dioxide, could stop burning coal by the end of the decade. Finance director Tony Quinlan said the company was looking to convert all six units of the coal-fired power station so they only burn biomass, such as wood chip, within the next 10 years... Greenpeace energy campaigner Joss Garman said: 'There's a serious question about whether it's sensible to use biomass in this way. While sustainable biomass is possible, the precious supplies available should be used in much smarter ways.'"
