About us.
Elimini is a new kind of carbon removals company.
We believe that by working together, no challenge is insurmountable.
So we’re building a coalition of change makers – of doers, not dreamers – determined to deliver a different future.
From vision to reality.
To help reverse the effects of the climate crisis, we need to reduce the dangerous levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. And cut our addiction to fossil fuels. But the world still needs renewable electricity.
BECCS (bioenergy with carbon capture and storage) is the only removal technology that does both: generating 24/7 renewable electricity while locking away emissions. For good.
By working in partnership with companies and sectors – including those with the biggest challenge to decarbonize - we can deploy BECCS rapidly and at scale. Helping turn vital industries from carbon emitters to carbon removers.
Meet our team.
Our executive team of experienced front-runners are setting the direction for our new venture.
Through collaboration, we'll deliver on our goals to help rewind the climate crisis.

A proven legacy. A bright future.
Elimini exists to remove carbon at world-changing scale. But our ambition wouldn’t be possible without decades of work done at Drax.
Elimini is a wholly owned subsidiary of Drax Group, a global energy company that’s been pioneering decarbonization projects for decades. This includes piloting the first bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) project of its kind in Europe.
Elimini will build upon the rich heritage of Drax as an innovator dedicated to sustainability, engineering excellence and delivery at scale.
