UK electricity plant nears full switch away from coal


London: As the coronavirus pandemic undermines the production of cleaner renewable fuels, the United Kingdom’s biggest electricity plant is close to using only biomass following a bumpy transition away from coal.

Situated in Yorkshire, northern England, the Drax Group power plant will complete its switch next year after embarking on a journey almost a decade ago to use organic matter alongside the fossil fuel to slash carbon emissions.
