The Energy Futures Initiative is dedicated to harnessing the power of innovation in technology and policy development to create energy jobs, enhance global energy access and security, and promote science-based, actionable solutions to the challenge of climate change. We do this through coalition building, thought leadership, and conducting science-based analysis.
The Energy Futures Initiative advances solutions to the climate crisis through coalition building, thought leadership, science-based analysis, and clear communication on realistic pathways to accelerate the energy transition.
Analyze
The research team at EFI conducts rigorous, science-based analysis supported by a global team of energy experts to identify the fastest pathways to the development of a low-carbon energy transition.
Convene
EFI brings together global stakeholders from government, industry and NGOs to identify and advance actionable energy solutions and assist in the development of long-range policy to accelerate energy innovation.
Propose
Through the Labor Energy Partnership, a joint effort from EFI and the AFL-CIO, EFI helps shape the creation of the 21st Century energy workforce by identifying the skills needed to deliver on the goal of net zero.
Explain
The energy transition will be disruptive and require changes in technology and consumer behavior. A core part of EFI’s mission is explaining the challenges in the clearest possible way to the widest possible audience.
Our Impact
I want to thank NASEO, the Energy Futures Initiative, and Secretary Moniz, for heroically stepping up when it became clear that the previous administration didn’t plan to meet their obligation…. It’s because of you that we know just how much the energy sector, especially clean energy, has grown in recent years.
Jennifer Granholm
U.S. Secretary of Energy
We must put technology innovation at the center of the response to climate change, and without a decade of supercharged innovation we won’t get to the goal of reducing the warming of the planet.

EFI Founder and CEO
The work being done by the team at the Energy Futures Initiative on deep decarbonization is incredibly important to what we are working towards in Congress.

The climate crisis is the existential issue of our time, and solving it begins by communicating clearly to the widest possible audience the urgency of the challenge—along with identifying solutions we can deploy quickly.

Vice President of Strategic Communications, EFI
Powerful Partnerships
EFI brings stakeholders together to preserve and create 21st Century energy jobs, craft policies that accelerate the pace of energy innovation, and open pathways to unlock the trillions of dollars in capital needed to fund the energy transition. Our partners include the Bipartisan Policy Center, ClimateWorks, the Linden Trust for Conservation, S&P Global, Breakthrough Energy, the National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO), and the AFL-CIO.
The Energy Futures Initiative is growing—we are looking for people who embrace science-based solutions to the climate crisis. Check out the current openings on the research and communications teams.
