Study: Climate change may make it harder to reduce smog in some regions

A modeling study shows that global warming will likely make it harder to reduce ground-level ozone, a respiratory irritant that is a key component of smog, by cutting nitrogen oxide emissions.

How to solve a bottleneck for CO2 capture and conversion

MIT researchers added nanoscale filtering membranes to a carbon-capture system, separating the ions that carry out the capture and release steps, and enabling both steps to proceed more efficiently.

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.

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.
