The Environment Agency has opened a consultation into its draft decision to grant a permit variation to North Yorkshire-based energy provider, Drax.

The company has applied to vary its environment permit to incorporate carbon capture at its bioenergy plant near Selby.

After reviewing comments and evidence from two previous public consultations, the Environment Agency said it is “minded to” issue the permit variation.
