The Clean Investment Monitor (CIM), created by Rhodium Group and MIT’s Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research, tracks investments in the manufacture and deployment of clean energy and decarbonization technologies in every country around the world. Through our detailed, facility-level data and in-depth analysis, we provide insights into investment trends, the pace and scale of new clean technology manufacturing capacity, and the impact of policies on the evolving global clean energy landscape.
Over the past decade, public and private investments in clean energy and decarbonization technologies have grown significantly—accelerating manufacturing and the adoption of the technologies needed for clean electricity and transportation, building electrification, low-emission industrial production, and carbon management. As these decarbonization industries mature, new international trade and cross-border investment tensions between major economies have emerged. Governments are increasingly concerned about the security and resilience of clean energy supply chains and the need to counter the economic influence of their competitors through trade and overseas investment.
To navigate these challenges, decision-makers—both policymakers and investors—need to assess on-the-ground progress in the transition to a cleaner economy not only within their own borders, but globally. The Clean Investment Monitor provides real-time, methodologically consistent tracking of all public and private investments in the manufacture and deployment of a wide spectrum of decarbonization technologies worldwide.
The Clean Investment Monitor catalogs public and private investments in a wide range of decarbonization technologies and their input components. To create a historical baseline against which to assess recent clean investment developments, CIM includes all investments in our covered technologies since 2018. The data is updated on a quarterly basis.
Who we are
The Clean Investment Monitor is a joint project created by Rhodium Group and MIT’s Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research, with additional contributions from Bruegel.
Rhodium Group is an independent research provider, combining policy expertise and data-driven analysis to help decision-makers navigate global challenges. Key areas of expertise are China’s economy and policy dynamics, and global climate change and energy systems. More information is available at www.rhg.com.
MIT's Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research has been a focal point for research on energy and environmental policy at MIT since 1977. CEEPR promotes rigorous, objective research for improved decision making in government and the private sector, and secures the relevance of its work through close cooperation with industry partners from around the globe. More information is available at ceepr.mit.edu.
Bruegel is a European think tank that specializes in economics. Bruegel's mission is to improve the quality of economic policy with open and fact-based research, analysis, and debate. More information is available at www.bruegel.org.
Access the data on ClimateDeck
Additional Clean Investment Monitor data and visualizations, including country-level data, US state, congressional-district, and facility-level data, and more detailed sector and technology breakdowns, are available on Rhodium Group’s ClimateDeck platform.
In addition to comprehensive clean investment tracking, ClimateDeck provides global and US 50-state greenhouse gas emissions inventories and baseline projections, energy market outlooks, and additional data-driven insights into energy and climate developments. All of this data is available to explore and download for free from the platform, and users are encouraged to integrate ClimateDeck data in their own analysis and external publications, with attribution.
