London, UK. 26th April, 2024. Scientists for XR join environmental activists from other groups to protest outside the annual general meeting of the UK's largest bioenergy supplier Drax. UK energy regulator Ofgem is investigating Drax’s compliance with sustainability rules amid increasing scrutiny of the company's activities, including of its source wood and its descriptions of the process used to generate electricity as 'carbon neutral'. Government biomass subsidies to Drax are currently expected to expire in 2027. Drax has today announced its highest ever annual profits, £731m as compared to £398m the previous year.
