Drax Power Station: biofuel steam rises as Mississippi wood-pellet controversy intensifies

Drone footage features push-in, hyperlapse, ascending and wide establishing shots of Drax Power Station in North Yorkshire, England, with steam visibly rising from the large-scale biomass facility. The aerial views highlight the size and industrial presence of one of the UK’s major power generators, which produces electricity by burning wood pellets rather than coal.

The footage comes amid renewed attention on biomass energy supply chains, following controversy in Mississippi, USA, where communities have raised concerns over pollution linked to wood-pellet production at Drax's Amite pellet production facility in Gloster, Mississippi. Mississippi is a key source of pellets exported to overseas energy generators, including facilities in Europe, prompting debate about the environmental and community impacts of biofuel production on both sides of the Atlantic.
