Elimini, a new US-based company focused on carbon removals and 24/7 renewable power, has launched at Climate Week NYC. The company aims to lead in carbon removal through bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) technology. Elimini has secured 11 carbon dioxide removal deals with eight companies, two biomass supply agreements, and formed an Advisory Council. It's exploring over 20 potential BECCS sites in North America and projects in six other countries.
The launch comes as research shows 74% of Americans are concerned about climate change, with only 37% believing the government is doing enough to support carbon removal technologies. Elimini plans to sell carbon removals generated at Drax Power Station and has partnered with universities for research collaborations. The company aims to provide alternatives for powering communities while meeting climate commitments.
