🌳The emissions from biomass power plants are inescapable. Drax generates more than the top 6 largest gas power plants, combined!

New infographic review of the UK Emissions Trading Scheme data, the first time this is published in full for 2024. Full report linked below, a few takeaways:
*Note that two of these 50 largest emitters closed in 2024, but what did it do to their rankings among the other largest?

We've just published an updated analysis of the 2027-2031 subsidy package for Drax. This could be the beginning of the wind down, but focus must move to the post-2031 phase out now. For lots of charts, stats and commentary - check out the link in the thread:

Oil and gas production is in long-term decline in the UK.
This is one of my favourite charts from our new analysis of how Clean Power 2030 will affect UK oil, gas and biomass imports.

New chart - The rising energy price cap is bad news, we've been following the steadily increasing price of gas for the 12 months. It's clear that wholesale energy prices need to be freed from the influence of volatile gas.

Biomass subsidies - Good news for bill payers, and bad news for Drax
The next subsidies announced for big biomass are *potentially* far more restrictive than previously enjoyed by Drax. This could signal the beginning of a wind down of expensive and polluting biomass power generation.

Ofgem has announced a 1.2% rise in the domestic price cap from January. Expensive fossil gas is making winter harder for millions.
Ember analysis shows that the cost of generating power using gas remains 80% higher than the pre-energy crisis average #energysky
