18 Feb 2022
Germany’s nuclear and coal phase-out both took a step towards their completion on the last day of 2021, when the country decommissioned several gigawatts of nuclear and lignite capacity. The three nuclear reactors Grohnde, Gundremmingen C and Brokdorf, with a total capacity of just over four gigawatts (GW), were taken off the grid on 31 December – leaving only three reactors running until the end of 2022 (Isar 2, Emsland and Neckarwestheim 2 – also around 4 GW of combined capacity).
‘Green’ biomass power plant in Yorkshire burning ‘renewable’ wood emits MORE CO2

14 Dec 2021
A supposedly “carbon neutral” Drax biomass power plant is the UK’s leading source of CO2 emissions, and belches out more harmful carbon and particulate matter than some of Europe’s dirtiest coal plants, according to a new report. Renewable energy firm Drax describes its plant in North Yorkshire as a “purely renewable” facility, boasting that it has slashed its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 90% since 2012. The plant burns biomass – pellets of compressed wood – and received £832 million ($1.13 billion) in direct government subsidies last year, on top of an estimated £258 million ($351 million) in carbon tax breaks.
