Learn how we are working to transform how we use and produce energy.
Our Approach
Transforming global energy systems
Working to secure a prosperous, resilient, clean energy future for all.
We don’t just think, we do and scale
We apply research and analysis to unlock market-based solutions that can be scaled in communities today. We work with partners to activate new technologies and innovative business models, unlock finance and capacity building, all sped by effective policy. As a nonpartisan nonprofit, we focus on driving rapid, systemic change and economy-wide transformations.
Our work is grounded in a “think, do, scale” model
Think bigger
We apply rigorous research and analysis to unlock market-based solutions that can be replicated and implemented now. We believe in applied hope and are bold and visionary in our aspirations. We are solutions-oriented, practical, and inclined to action.
Do boldly
The bold action of influential change-agents can transform our energy landscape. RMI turns bold ideas into market-moving change — from research to real-world deployment. We build prototypes and incentive mechanisms with businesses, communities, and goverments to ensure solutions are ready to scale.
Scale globally
Driving the energy transition requires that we scale quickly beyond individual people, companies, cities, or countries. RMI convenes relevant stakeholder groups to accelerate the scaling of good ideas from around the world.
What We Do
RMI works with businesses, policymakers, and communities around the world to scale renewable energy solutions, reduce energy waste, and boost access to affordable clean energy.
