Carbon Management
EFI Foundation’s carbon management research proposes technological and policy pathways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We analyze the full spectrum of carbon solutions—from clean power and fuels to carbon capture, removal, and geoengineering—ensuring reasonable pathways forward. Our analysis helps public and private stakeholders make data-driven decisions and has inspired bipartisan legislative efforts. EFIF’s experts have advanced a comprehensive, ledger-based carbon accounting system built on engineering fundamentals and financial accounting principles.

We’re shaping the future—explore below to see how our work powers pragmatic progress across the energy landscape.
Carbon Management
EFI Foundation’s carbon management research proposes technological and policy pathways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We analyze the full spectrum of carbon solutions—from clean power and fuels to carbon capture, removal, and geoengineering—ensuring reasonable pathways forward.
Innovation
Innovation is essential to address today’s critical energy challenges. EFI Foundation’s rigorous research and expert convenings deliver insights on innovation across technology, markets, and policy. Our work supports breakthrough technologies and pragmatic, evidence-based policies.
Finance
Unleashing large-scale deployment of next-generation technologies requires innovative ways to channel capital to novel energy projects. EFI Foundation develops practical tools and finance solutions, including an integrated carbon accounting framework and risk- reduction strategies, to help clean energy initiatives go from concept to project.
Jobs
A strong and dynamic clean energy workforce is needed to tackle the interconnected challenges of climate, energy security, economic competitiveness, and social equity. EFI Foundation works to forge cross-cutting coalitions and define policy pathways that create jobs and transition the United States toward a low-carbon economy.
Security
Global energy demand is on a constant upwards trajectory. New technologies require new generation capacity while geopolitical tensions compel states to diversify energy and material supplies. As a result, securing clean and reliable energy is more important than ever.
Nuclear
Expanding nuclear power capacity is essential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while still meeting rising global energy demand. Since EFIF’s inception, we’ve affirmed the importance of nuclear energy as a low-carbon solution.
