HC Deb 30 January 1989 vol 146 c88W
46. Mr. Moss

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy what reductions in sulphur emissions are expected from the proposed sulphur removal plant at Drax power station; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Michael Spicer

The flue gas desulphurisation plant which will be installed at Drax power station is designed to remove at least 90 per cent. of the sulphur dioxide in the flue gases. When fully completed, it is expected to eliminate about 10 per cent. of the board's current sulphur dioxide emissions.
