Drax power plant, the largest source of carbon emissions in the UK, has been accused of burning 250-year-old trees sourced from some of Canada's oldest forests, according to a report by Stand.earth. The report claims that Drax's subsidiary received hundreds of truckloads of whole logs, including those from ecologically significant old-growth forests, as recently as this summer. Despite Drax's claims of sourcing wood only from sustainable forests, the findings raise questions about the company's environmental practices and its eligibility for green energy subsidies, which amount to over £2 million daily. The investigation utilized government data and satellite monitoring to substantiate claims that Drax's operations are contributing to the loss of irreplaceable old-growth trees, which are vital for biodiversity and ecosystem health.
