Prime Coalition’s mission

Prime Coalition empowers philanthropists to invest charitable capital into market-based solutions to fight climate change. Commercial products and services that could, at scale, achieve significant climate impact often struggle to raise sufficient financial support. Just 1% of US private foundations’ grant power alone would more than double the amount of equity and venture funding currently deployed to early-stage clean technology. Prime Coalition has a unique methodology for measuring companies’ emissions reduction potential (ERP), a much-needed tool for investors looking to deploy catalytic capital.

Achieving decarbonization technology goals with Autodesk tools

Via Separations, a Prime Coalition investee, is using Autodesk AutoCAD and the Plant 3D toolset to decarbonize the paper and pulp industry with its groundbreaking technology, which saves energy and time while capturing valuable byproducts.
