Drax Group Plc operate Drax Power station in the UK, Europe’s largest coal-fired power station and the world’s largest biomass power station. It provides around 7% of the UK’s electricity and is the single largest source of carbon emissions in the UK. This has made the power plant the target of several environmental protests. Drax was the site of the first Camp for Climate Action in 2006 and was intended to be the site of a Carbon Capture Storage project, but the company eventually pulled out.
