Invitations to powerful climate action at MIT Better World (Sustainability)
An urgent call to confront climate change reverberated throughout MIT Better World (Sustainability), a virtual gathering of the global MIT community.
Negative emissions, positive economy
How bioenergy with carbon capture and storage could help stabilize the climate without breaking the bank.
Powering the energy transition with better storage
Researchers evaluate the role and value of long-duration energy storage technologies in securing a carbon-free electric grid.
3 Questions: Ernest Moniz on the future of climate and energy under the Biden-Harris administration
Former US energy secretary discusses opportunities and challenges with MITEI Director Robert Armstrong.
Unravelling carbon uptake in concrete pavements
MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub research finds natural carbon uptake in concrete could offset 5 percent of US pavement cement production emissions.
Two projects receive funding for technologies that avoid carbon emissions
Asegun Henry, Paul Barton, and Matěj Peč will lead research supported by the MIT Energy Initiative's Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Center.
Removing carbon dioxide from power plant exhaust
MIT researchers are developing a battery that could both capture carbon dioxide in power plant exhaust and convert it to a solid ready for safe disposal.
Assessing nature's carbon sinks
Study estimates the annual carbon sequestration rate in protected areas such as rainforests will decline by about 40 percent between now and 2100.
Sequestration on shaky ground
Study finds a natural impediment to the long-term sequestration of carbon dioxide.
Getting the carbon out of emissions
Proposed method could be more efficient than previous systems and easier to retrofit in existing power plants.
Oxygen-separation membranes could aid in CO2 reduction
Ceramic membranes may reduce carbon dioxide emissions from gas and coal-fired powerplants.
Greenhouse gas can find a home underground
New MIT analysis shows there’s enough room to safely store at least a century’s worth of U.S. fossil fuel emissions.
Report: Natural gas can play major role in greenhouse gas reduction
The cleanest of fossil fuels, it is far more abundant than previously thought and can have significant impact at little cost, MIT study finds.
