Discover different strategies of using today's technologies to take the world off the path toward dramatic climate change.

Sharing Global CO₂ Emission Reductions Among One Billion High Emitters

Science Group	Collects data from the oceans, the atmosphere, ice cores, and the land biosphere to study how natural sources and sinks of carbon have varied in recent and ancient times, and how they will respond to future climatic change.

Storage Group	Studies potential risks of injecting CO₂ underground for permanent storage. Models of subsurface carbon dioxide behavior and laboratory studies of well cement degradation are helping the group evaluate that risk.

Low-Carbon Energy Group	Studies the production of power and fuels from fossil fuels with CO₂ capture, biomass as an energy source on its own and combined with fossil fuels, wind power, and batteries for power and storage.

Policy & Integration Group	Synthesizes research discoveries and explores the policy implications of carbon mitigation strategies. It also works to communicate issues of carbon and climate to industry, government, NGO's and the general public.

2011 was a year of growth for CMI.
