UK Environment Agency grants Drax Power permit for BECCS
In the UK, the Environment Agency has granted an environmental permit variation to Drax Power Limited in Yorkshire following a public consultation on the Agency’s draft decision regarding the incorporation of carbon capture at its bioenergy plant near Selby, which took place earlier in the summer. The decision is based on Drax demonstrating that it has met and will continue to meet expected mandatory conditions as outlined in the permit.
The Environment Agency only issues permits or permit variations if it’s satisfied the operator can comply with the permit conditions and has appropriate systems in place to operate without causing harm to the environment, human health or wildlife.
