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.

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.
