Drax Power claims its biomass conversion process at Drax power station is the largest decarbonisation project in Europe, and was on its way to hitting its 50 millionth tonne of carbon saved. Or so the company thought in June this year, a month before the UK’s new Conservative government announced the end of the Climate Change Levy exemption for renewable electricity producers. We discuss Drax’s future, and ask how the solar industry, too, will be impacted by a loss of regulatory support.
Also in renewables, we find out why floating turbine technology is the future of offshore wind, and investigate how Good Energy is allowing customers to engage with the energy market.
Moreover, we learn how the UK’s biogas industry can reach its full potential, ask scientists about ammonia’s potential to solve the world’s clean energy dilemma, and take a closer look at the arguments for and against EDF and Areva’s new deal.
