Reducing carbon emissions from long-haul trucks

MIT Energy Initiative

Based on a series of analytical studies, MIT chemical engineers have come up with an idea that would enable long-haul trucks to use clean-burning hydrogen in place of diesel fuel, thereby reducing their carbon emissions. Left to right: Sayandeep Biswas, William Green, and Kariana Moreno Sader are now building an experiment to test and fine-tune equipment key to their promising approach.
