Ferrybridge C was the "experimental" station for carbon capture and we did some work for the main contractor who was doing a complete refit over the past few years, I had a chat with one of the contract managers there one day and he explained what they'd been doing just before the turbines were fired up and the station went back online - basically it was only ever licenced for 25 years use when it was built in the 1960s, which was extended by another 15 years, and now its a flagship for biomass and carbon capture its future is basically open ended.
Drax and Eggborough were supposed to be next in line, our client operates at both of them but I know that the biomass plans were cut back when the current incumbant government came into power.
According to Wiki the current setup at Ferrybridge remove 95% of sulphur dioxide from its flues, which is pretty impressive.
