EnviroMission () is an Australian company specializing in renewable energy, established on 2 November 2000. Beginning in 2001, the firm proposed constructing a solar updraft tower power plant named Solar Tower Buronga near Mildura, Victoria. By 2007, EnviroMission was also conducting feasibility assessments for comparable towers in Texas; however, none of these initiatives progressed beyond the planning phase.
In 2008, EnviroMission combined operations with the American company SolarMission Technologies, Inc. to broaden its market reach. The organization advanced plans for two 200 MW solar updraft towers located in Arizona and obtained authorization from the Southern California Public Power Authority in 2010 to distribute electricity produced by these plants. Despite this, EnviroMission forfeited the contract after it failed to provide assurances regarding project completion, and as of 2014, no construction activities had begun.
In April 2016, EnviroMission was removed from the Australian Securities Exchange listing.
