About us.
We’re starting something big.
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.

Sustainability
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.
Advisory Council.
This independent panel of experts has experience across the entire carbon removal value chain.
Its members provide guidance and advice - holding us true to our purpose and values while helping us shape and execute our strategy.

Our worldwide headquarters are in Houston, Texas at the heart of the U.S. energy industry. We also have offices in London, England - one of the world's major financial hubs and commercial centers.
Yet our geographic locations don't define or limit our reach.
We're always available and ready to talk about our operations, plans, technologies and more. And keen to discuss your decarbonization goals and any other areas where we can support your business.
