The Energy Giant Using Southern Yellow Pine to Power Data Centres
It could be the dream scenario for fighting the climate crisis: one of the world's largest and highest polluting power stations, which, at its peak, emitted 23
Now, with the help of North American forests, Drax – the UK’s largest power plant, is investing billions in producing bioenergy with carbon capture and storage – known as BECCS. As reported in the Wall Street Journal (WJS), Drax plans to use low-value thinnings and biomass from Southern Yellow Pine timber plantations, which grow extensively across the American South, to create 24/7 renewable energy sources—crucial to meet surging demand for artificial intelligence and data centres.
