The Rocky Mountain Institute is an independent, non-partisan organization that drives the efficient and restorative use of natural resources with offices in Washington, D.C., New York and Chicago.

Founded in 1982, the institute advances market-based solutions, while engaging businesses, communities and institutions to make a cost-effective shift to efficiency and renewables. It employs rigorous research, analysis and whole-systems expertise to develop breakthrough insights and works collaboratively with a diverse range of partners—business, government, academic, nonprofit, philanthropic, and military—to accelerate and scale solutions. 

The Rocky Mountain Institute’s donor-funded initiatives fall into four key issue areas—buildings, electricity, transportation and industry—with the focus to transform global energy use to create a clean, prosperous and secure energy future. In 2011, the institute published Reinventing Fire: Bold Business Solutions for the New Energy Era, a book that offered a vision to get the United States off oil, coal and nuclear energy and onto efficiency and renewables. A similar study focusing on China is planned.
