AI stirs up the recipe for concrete in MIT study

MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub
A team led by Soroush Mahjoubi, a postdoc in civil and environmental engineering, built a machine-learning framework that evaluates and sorts candidate materials for cleaner concrete based on their physical and chemical properties. “Some of the most interesting materials that could replace a portion of cement are ceramics,” notes Mahjoubi. “Old tiles, bricks, pottery — all these materials may have high reactivity.”

How can India decarbonize its coal-dependent electric power system?

MIT Energy Initiative
India has pledged to reduce its carbon emissions, a difficult task as the country’s electric power system relies on many coal-burning power plants. While some of the plants are fuel-efficient (right), many more are not (left). MITEI researchers have explored and clarified India’s decarbonization options and have posted their methods and results for use by other countries in the midst of similar energy transitions.
