School of Architecture and Planning creates climate action plan

A single year of carbon dioxide emitted as a result of actions and energy use in the MIT School of Architecture and Planning. Each ball represents a ton of emitted carbon, with the different colors standing for different sources. The estimated greenhouse gas emissions by SA+P totaled 24,795 million tons of CO2 equivalent in 2019.

To boost emissions reductions from electric vehicles, know when to charge

MIT Energy Initiative

The time of day when an electric vehicle (EV) is charged can have a large impact on reducing its emissions. In California, home to half of the EVs in the United States, charging at midday reduces EV emissions by more than 40 percent when compared to charging at night.
