Reducing carbon emissions from residential heating: A pathway forward

MIT Energy Initiative

A modeling study by an MIT team has shown that electrifying residential heating can be a substantial step toward reducing carbon emissions, as well as costs, over the combined electricity and natural gas sectors. Here, the team poses beside a high-efficiency electric heat pump system that provides heating to the home, replacing the natural gas-fired furnace. Left to right: Audun Botterud, Saurabh Amin, Rahman Khorramfar, Morgan Santoni-Colvin, and Leslie Norford. Not pictured: Dharik Mallapragada.

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.
