DB Cargo’s Biomass rail solution for Drax

DB Cargo UK has been a long-standing logistics partner for Drax, the UK’s largest renewable power station.

-Over 2,600 trains annually operating on renewable fuel.

-More than 6,500 tonnes of CO₂ saved in the first year.

-Contract renewed in 2025 to expand services further.

With Drax’s ambition to become carbon negative by 2030, DB Cargo UK continues to innovate and invest to support their sustainability journey.
