The First Movers Coalition (FMC) is a global force for climate action, uniting over 100 leading companies to unlock the potential of emerging clean technologies. Recognizing that 50% of future emissions reductions will rely on technologies yet to scale, FMC leverages its members' combined purchasing power to create a powerful market demand signal.

This translates into $15 billion annual clean demand by 2030, accelerating the adoption of innovative solutions across seven critical sectors: aluminum, aviation, cement & concrete, shipping, steel, trucking, and carbon dioxide removal.

FMC's impact extends beyond individual sectors. By partnering with governments and other stakeholders, it fosters a collaborative ecosystem for financing, deploying, and scaling emerging technologies.

This holistic approach creates bankable projects and offtake agreements, building a robust pipeline for clean technology advancements. Ultimately, FMC aims to drastically reduce global emissions, paving the way for a net-zero future.
