The original DRAX power station was build next to a huge coalfield so it would be the ideal site to bury any captured carbon. Possibly the best fuel for DRAX would be reclaimed scrap plastics as it has pulverising plant that can be adapted to pulverise plastics mixed with scrap wood collected from our garden refuse bins.
Using fresh wood, that has to be imported however, would lead to deforestation in some foreign land; an environmental disaster and is anyway hopelessly uneconomical because of the transportation costs.
Producing power by burning scrap refuse instead of burying it in landfill is surely, highly desirable.?
