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.

Cleaning up critical minerals and materials production, using microwave pla...

6K’s microwave plasma technology, called UniMelt, uses beams of tightly controlled thermal plasma to melt or vaporize precursor materials into particles with precise sizes and crystalline phases. Pictured is a photo from 6K’s factory showing some of its large plasma equipment.

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.

For clean ammonia, MIT engineers propose going underground

MIT engineers developed a way to make clean ammonia, without fossil-fuel-powered chemical plants, using the Earth as a geochemical reactor, producing ammonia underground.

Minimizing the carbon footprint of bridges and other structures

Before coming to MIT, 2024 MAD Design Fellow Zane Schemmer, who grew up in the mountains of Utah, earned a BS and MS in civil and environmental engineering from the University of California at Berkeley, where his graduate work focused on seismic design.

In Sweden, broad consensus on climate action spurs an energy transition in ...

The main debate in Sweden is not whether to build more zero-carbon energy sources, but rather, which ones.

What will it take for the American steel industry to go ‘fossil-free’?

At HYBRIT's fossil-free steel plant in Luleå, Sweden, hydrogen made with renewable electricity turns reddish iron ore pellets, left, into grey pellets of sponge iron, which are ready to be melted down and made into steel.

Enabling a circular economy in the built environment

MIT Climate & Sustainability Consortium

Concrete waste accounts for the majority of construction and demolition debris, representing over 60 percent of the total volume of more than 600 million tons in 2018.
