Wetland forests in the Southeastern USA are:
Home to many rare and endangered species
One of the most biodiverse forest regions in the world
Being clear-felled by a company called Enviva to burn in Drax
A key source of clean water and flood protection for local communities
A vital defence against climate change
Amazing!
Which of these species are threatened by logging to supply Drax's tree burning?
Black bears
Skipper butterflies
Red wolves
Wood storks
Salamanders
Worm-eating warblers
Red-cockaded woodpeckers
Gopher frogs
Enviva's logging and Drax's tree burning are ...
Destroying precious forests
Harming wildlife, including many rare and endangered species
Polluting communities in the USA & the UK
Providing a green and renewable alternative to fossil fuels
Making the climate crisis worse
Replacing many biodiverse forests with monoculture plantations which support very few species
How much does Drax receive per day in UK renewable subsidies to burn this wood? (These subsidies are paid for by a surcharge on our energy bills)
£500 per day
£6,400 per day
£25,750 per day
£1.5 million per day
£2.36 million per day
Drax claims that it can become the world's first 'carbon negative' power station by 2030 by capturing and storing the emissions it produces from burning wood. Is this true?
Yes
No! The technology to capture and store carbon from wood burning is unproven and even if it did work, it would lead to more forest destruction and wood burning.
No way!
Don't believe the greenwashing!
What can we do to help save forests, wildlife, communities & the climate from Drax's tree burning?
Protect and restore natural forests, not replace them with monoculture plantations
Call on the UK Government to transfer Drax's subsidies to genuinely low-carbon renewable energy, such as wind and solar: https://www.biofuelwatch.org.uk/2020/uk-end-biomass-subsidies/
Ask Drax's business customers, like Yeo Valley, to switch to clean energy
