London, UK. 5 March, 2024. Environmental activists protest outside the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) against government plans to provide further public subsidies to tree-burning power plants Drax, in Yorkshire, and Lynemouth in Northumberland. The former Drax coal power station, which already receives large public subsidies, burns imported wood pellets, including from trees felled in old-growth primary forests, and is one of the single largest emitters of CO2 and particulate matter (PM10) in the UK. Critics also contest its claim to be a 'renewable' energy source.
