Carbon Mitigation Initiative receives $11 million through extended partnership with BP


In a continuing research partnership to identify ways to tackle the world's climate problem, Princeton’s Carbon Mitigation Initiative (CMI) has received a commitment of $11 million from BP as part of an extension of their partnership first announced in October 2008.

BP and Princeton originally entered into a 10-year research agreement from 2000 to 2010, and CMI received $19 million from BP during this time to support the initiative's research programs. CMI was created to investigate the climate and energy problem and has achieved recognition as both a successful interdisciplinary program at Princeton and an effective industry-university collaboration. It is part of the Princeton Environmental Institute (PEI), the University’s interdisciplinary center for environmental research, education and outreach.
