The World Resources Institute (WRI) provides research and policy recommendations to support the United States' transition to a low-carbon economy. Its work spans industrial modernization in sectors like cement and steel, the deployment of renewable and clean firm power, and the development of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategies. WRI also focuses on systemic barriers such as permitting reform for energy transmission, the responsible sourcing of critical minerals, carbon pricing, and the electrification of transportation, including a specific initiative for electric school buses.

• WRI focuses on industrial innovation to future-proof American manufacturing, specifically targeting the cement, steel, chemicals, and refining sectors to improve efficiency and reduce pollution.
• To ensure grid reliability, WRI researches the pairing of intermittent renewable sources like wind and solar with clean "firm" power resources, including nuclear, hydrogen, and geothermal, and explores 24/7 hourly matching to reduce emissions.
• WRI investigates both natural and technological carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategies that sequester CO2 in the ocean, underground reservoirs, land, or products such as concrete.
• The organization advocates for permitting reform at federal, state, and local levels to accelerate the construction of transmission projects that connect diversified energy sources to the grid.
• WRI's work on transportation electrification includes a dedicated Electric School Bus Initiative that provides technical assistance to school districts and researches battery technologies and supply chain requirements.
