Center For Green Market Activation

Concrete and cement - the organization partners with rmi on this initiative to facilitate capital deployment towards low-carbon cement and concrete, enabling dramatic reductions to embodied emissions in the built environment. This initiative will operate in two phases: first leading a diverse working group to design a credible measurement and book and claim system and subsequently establishing and coordinating a collective procurement process for both physical and attribute offtake.

Heavy duty trucking - in partnership with smart freight centre, the organization coordinates and manages gma trucking, a buyers alliance for zero emissions trucking service attributes with the goal of accelerating the decarbonization of heavy-duty trucking. Gma trucking is supporting first-of-their-kind, scalable partnerships focused on getting battery electric vehicle (bev) and fuel cell electric vehicle (fcev) class 8 trucks on the road.

Maritime - launched in 2023, zemba aims to accelerate commercial deployment of zeroemission shipping services, enable economies of scale, and help cargo owners and freight forwarders maximize emission reduction potential beyond what any freight transport buyer could accomplish alone. Zemba is managed by the aspen institute's energy & environment program (eep). The organization provides technical and procurement support in alignmentwith zemba's short and long-term goals as set by aspen eep.

Standards and guidance - convened by c2es, the gold standard, and gma, the advanced and indirect mitigation (aim) platform is a cross-sectoral, multi-stakeholder initiative that aims to unlock vast new sums of private climate finance by bringing civil society and the private sector together to remove roadblocks to value chain mitigation and ignite sectoral transition.

Chemicals - the program focuses on accelerating deep decarbonization of the chemicals sector, while supporting efforts to address chemicals' non-climate impacts. The program will do so by building market-based tools to remove financial and structural barriers to decarbonization and will facilitate demand aggregation and collective procurement for low-emission chemical products.
