About Drax: Drax Group''s (Drax) purpose is to enable a zero carbon, lower cost energy future and in 2019 announced a world-leading ambition to be carbon negative by 2030, using bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) technology.
Drax''s strategy focuses on providing dispatchable renewable power to support the grid when other sources aren''t available, ensuring a reliable and stable energy supply. As biomass continues to expand, particularly in North America, how do you plan to scale up operations, and what challenges do you anticipate for the industry?
Drax''s plans can help the next Government deliver UK energy security The UK has decarbonised its energy system at a quicker rate than any other country, but having done ''the easy bit'' and with demand for electricity forecast to increase
The UK has decarbonised its energy system at a quicker rate than any other country, but having done ''the easy bit'' and with demand for electricity forecast to increase by 50% by 2035, we are now at an inflection point.. Additionally, leading thinktank Public First''s research shows that in 2028 the UK is on course to hit an energy security "crunch point" – with peak
Bioenergy is the world''s largest renewable energy source, providing 10% of the world''s primary supply.But more than just being a plentiful energy source, it can and should be a sustainable one.
Renewable energy pioneer Drax has welcomed over 100 businesses, prospective suppliers and local communities to an event for the planned expansion project at Cruachan Pumped Storage Hydro Power Station. Organised in collaboration with NOF, a not for profit UK membership organisation helping to connect businesses in the global energy sector,
The Drax team is now working to outfit Drax Power Station with BECCS technology that will remove an estimated 8 Mtpa of carbon while generating 10 TWh of power. This is slated to be the first carbon-negative power station in the world and is key to achieving Drax''s goal of becoming a carbon-negative company.
For 50 years Drax Power Station has been generating power and high quality jobs. Drax Power Station has kept Britain''s lights on for 50 years. As well as playing a key role in the country''s energy security and providing enough power for 4 million homes, we have also been a long-term source of high-quality well-paid jobs, too. Learn more.

About Drax Drax Group is a renewable energy company engaged in renewable power generation, the production of sustainable biomass and the sale of renewable electricity to businesses. Drax operates a generation portfolio of sustainable biomass, hydro-electric and pumped hydro storage assets across four sites in England and Scotland.
Deal diversifies Drax portfolio and widens UK footprint; Drax is set to play a bigger role than ever in Great Britain''s energy system following the completion of the purchase of Spanish company Iberdrola''s portfolio of flexible, low-carbon and renewable assets, for £702 million subject to customary adjustments.
The biomass industry, and Drax''s role within it, has been to drive up sustainability standards, by using the latest science to better understand the forests we source from, improving silviculture practices and encouraging further growth so forests stay as forests. Biomass is a small but important part of the wider spectrum of forest-based industries that complements and supports
"Our goal is to educate the public about the importance of sustainable energy and the role that Drax''s operations play in the larger timber industry," said Matt White, Executive Vice President of North America Operations, Drax. "This virtual tour not only highlights the technologies and methods we employ, but also gives the audience a
In order to send it to where the demand is without losing too much energy as heat along the journey, a transformer attached to large power generators such as Drax''s biomass power plant or Beatrice offshore wind farm increases the voltage to 400,000v or 275,000v. The voltage depends on what part of the national transmission system the power
Drax is progressing an option to expand its existing Cruachan pumped storage facility in Scotland through the construction of a new 600 MW power station.Built adjacent to the existing underground plant, the new power station would effectively more than double the site''s total generation capacity to more than 1 GW.

Energy Planning Strategies for Burundi The Burundian energy supply highly depends on traditional use of biomass. The literature shows that the power supply of this country mainly relies on hydropower generation. Many hydropower projects are under development to increase the electricity access of this country .
Ranked in order of importance, the main sources of energy consumed in Burundi are: biomass (wood), petroleum products, electricity from hydropower sources and peat. About 98% of the Burundian population, both urban and rural, use wood and charcoal as an energy source, mainly for heating and cooking.
As the Burundian power supply not matching the domestic energy demand , the energy needs is mostly represented by traditional biomass at about 96% of total energy consumption, mostly used for cooking in rural areas (in traditional way) and urban areas as charcoal .
Although the country is endowed with a huge potential for various energy resources , there is higher uncertainty about what will become the Burundian power sector in long-run. This uncertainty is higher as the target of reaching 30% of electrification rate in 2030 is still far from the current situation (Fig. 2).
A great portion of energy consumption in EAC is traditional biomass. Burundi accounts 96.6% of total consumption in form of wood and charcoal whereas electricity, petroleum products and other are respectively represented by 0.6%, 2.7% and 0.1% . The reliance on traditional use of biomass in Kenya is 68% of its total energy consumption .
New hydroelectric power stations at Jiji and Mulembwe with a total capacity of 48 MW are under construction. These new power plants will double Burundi's production capacity, which is currently 39 MW. They will also increase the national electrification rate from 5% to 8% and help to bridge the energy deficit.
