Drax Power Station: Biofuels
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment has he made of the import costs of biomass sourcing of the fuel for the Drax power station.
Answered by Michael Shanks
It is for generators to determine the most cost effective way of importing biomass, as this is a commercial decision. All transportation of biomass must comply with strict supply chain emission thresholds in order to be eligible for any subsidy.
