RMI is accelerating the growth a net-zero concrete industry via demand creation, technical innovation, streamlining policy, supply-side support, and unlocking capital for first-of-a-kind projects.

Transforming oil and natural gas into plastics, and chemicals is highly emissions intensive. RMI works with industry to reduce the climate and health risks of plastics and chemicals, from production to the end of a product’s life.

Decarbonizing aluminum production requires innovation in primary production, decarbonizing electricity supply, and improving end-of-life scrap collection and sorting. RMI’s emissions reporting guidance provides key metrics to accelerate decarbonization.

Steelmakers can achieve deep decarbonization with technology solutions available today. Emerging innovations can help the industry break ties with coal to cut air pollution, lower climate emissions, and benefit nearby communities.

RMI works with airlines, manufacturers, and others to cut aviation emissions by spurring adoption of sustainable fuels. We’re also working to avoid contrails, a major contributor to planetary warming.

The marine shipping industry, which handles most global trade, must transition to zero-emission fuels and vessels within the next decade To achieve its goal: net zero by 2050.

Electrifying freight transport, especially medium- and heavy-duty trucks, can significantly reduce emissions, improve public health and air quality, and help fleets save money.

When produced cleanly by using renewable energy, hydrogen can be a powerful decarbonization tool to replace fossil fuels in heavy industry and long-haul transport.

RMI’s Commodity Market Transformation Initiative accelerates market transformation in emissions-intensive commodity sectors by building transparency, trust, and aligned incentives.

RMI works with heavy industry leaders and innovators to accelerate technologies that reduce emissions across energy-intensive sectors such as steel, chemicals, and manufacturing.

Through the Mission Possible Partnership (MPP), RMI is accelerating development of US clean industrial hubs. MPP facilitates information sharing, spotlights first movers, and helps projects maximize emissions reductions and community benefits.
