We’re a nonpartisan strategic collaborative working to strengthen the government’s role in advancing clean energy innovation, building new energy infrastructure, and shaping global energy markets. Through strategic coordination, thought leadership, coalition-building, and catalytic philanthropy, we ensure high-impact energy solutions can make it from discovery to deployment—without falling into the “valleys of death”.
Innovation Initiative
Accelerating clean energy breakthroughs through
policy reform.
We focus on three core pillars: innovation reform, clean firm power, and electricity market reform —critical, underfunded levers needed to scale breakthrough technologies in a rapidly evolving energy landscape for economic prosperity.
Clean Energy Solutions
The
Challenge.
Despite historic federal investments—over $300 billion unlocked by the Energy Act of 2020, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, CHIPS+, and IRA—clean energy solutions do not have a direct path to market.
According to the International Energy Agency, more than 50% of the emissions reductions needed to reach net-zero by 2050 must come from technologies that are not yet commercially viable. However, private investors are reluctant to fund innovative energy technologies, especially in capital-intensive sectors like electricity and industry because the risk is high, the timelines are long, and returns aren’t guaranteed.
Federal and state governments are uniquely positioned to de-risk key solutions, crowd in private investment, and bring down costs to compete with fossil fuels.
