PARIS, Nov. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The
Breakthrough Energy Coalition, which launched today in Paris, is a global group of private investors
that will take the risks that allow early-stage energy companies to
get innovation out of the lab and into the marketplace. The group
will invest in companies that have the best chance to make reliable
zero-carbon energy available to everyone at an affordable
price. The Breakthrough Energy Coalition is made up of more
than 25 investors from 10 countries. It is launching in
conjunction with Mission Innovation, an international effort of
more than 15 governments to double their commitments to early-stage
energy research and development in order to discover and invent the
technologies that these investors can develop into scalable,
marketable solutions for our future global energy mix. To
