About

Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI)?s mission is to transform global energy use to create a clean, prosperous, and secure low-carbon future.

WHO WE ARE
We are an independent, nonpartisan nonprofit cofounded in 1982 by Amory Lovins, RMI?s chairman emeritus and chief scientist. RMI now has approximately 180 full-time staff, annual operations of $42 million, and a global reach and reputation. In 2014, Carbon War Room merged with and now operates as part of RMI.

WHAT WE DO
RMI engages businesses, communities, institutions, and entrepreneurs to accelerate the adoption of market-based solutions that cost-effectively shift from fossil fuels to efficiency and renewables. We employ rigorous research, analysis, and whole-systems expertise to develop breakthrough insights. We then convene and collaborate with diverse partners?business, government, academic, nonprofit, philanthropic, and military?to accelerate and scale solutions
