andrewduckerJust been reading about the Drax power station. There have been protest recently because it produces a lot of CO2. What's not being mentioned is that it's a massive power station that also produces a vast amount of electricity, and is one of the cleanest coal-powered stations in the UK. What I'm interested in is the amount of CO2/MW that electricity production results in, for different power stations. According to Wikipedia, Drax produces 20 million tonnes of CO2 and 3945 MW of power - that's 5070 tonnes per MW. Is that more than your average plant? Less? Anyone?
