Drax

About

Drax Group plc is a UK-listed energy utility that operates the Drax Power Station in Selby, North Yorkshire, converting biomass wood pellets into electricity. Its wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary Elimini is developing BECCS projects in North America, and Drax is installing BECCS units at its UK power station. In December 2025, Drax announced cuts of around 100 CCS-related roles across the group and Elimini, citing insufficient regulatory and commercial frameworks for large-scale BECCS investment.
