This article discusses the transition of Drax power station in the UK from coal to biomass for energy generation. The power station relies on rail freight to deliver wood pellets sourced sustainably from North America. Drax owns a dedicated fleet of biomass wagons and celebrates its rail operations as part of its 50th anniversary. The article also mentions Drax's focus on improving rail performance, exploring options for decarbonizing its rail operations, and the potential benefits of reopening the Skipton to Colne rail link for trans-Pennine rail freight and passenger services. SELRAP, a community group, is leading the campaign to reopen the line and has gained political support for the project. [Extracted from the article] |
