3 Questions: Exploring the limits of carbon sequestration

Rincon de la Vieja, an active volcano in Costa Rica, experiences elevated levels of carbon dioxide due to its volcanic activity, where CO2 naturally seeps from cracks in the volcano's foundation, creating a unique environment for studying the effects of how plants might respond to rising global CO2 levels.

3 Questions: What the laws of physics tell us about CO2 removal

A new American Physical Society report led by MIT physics professor Washington Taylor explores the physical limitations of carbon dioxide removal and concludes these technologies are worth pursuing in tandem with global efforts to reduce carbon emissions.

Smart carbon dioxide removal yields economic and environmental benefits

A new MIT study finds that biochar (charcoal produced from plant matter and stored in soil) is a cost-competitive option for removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide removal is expected to play a key role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in alignment with long-term climate targets.

In a unique research collaboration, students make the case for less e-waste...

Left to right: Anastasia Duncan, Chris Rabe, and Jasmin Liu stand at the loading dock of MIT's Stata Center, where students and faculty go "crufting." Rabe facilitated an interdisciplinary working group of undergraduate and graduate students known as SERC Scholars to co-author a case study on the electronic hardware waste life cycle and climate justice.

A new catalyst can turn methane into something useful

MIT chemical engineers designed a two-part catalyst that can convert methane gas to useful products. The catalyst consists of iron-modified aluminum silicate plus an enzyme called alcohol oxidase (enzyme not pictured).
