  • British electricity generation company Drax revealed Thursday that it will stop using coal next year, four years ahead of the UK government's official target, with the loss of 230 jobs. Drax will cease almost 50 years of coal-fired electricity generation at its Selby plant in Yorkshire, northern England, in March 2021, it said in a statement. The London-listed company will shutter the country's largest power station ahead of Britain's 2025 deadline to achieve "net zero" carbon emissions. The government wants to phase out coal power generation as part of its plans to combat climate change. Drax meanwhile aims to become carbon negative by 2030, meaning that it seeks to capture more carbon -- via bioenergy carbon capture and storage technology -- than its operations release into the atmosphere. "Ending the use of coal at Drax is a landmark in our continued efforts to transform the business and become a world-leading carbon negative company by 2030," said chief executive Will Gardiner. "Drax's journey away from coal began some years ago and I'm proud to say we're going to finish the job well ahead of the government's 2025 deadline." rfj/wai
