Future nuclear power reactors could rely on molten salts — but what about...

MIT Energy Initiative

Postdoc Weiyue Zhou (left) and Associate Professor Michael Short attach a novel test chamber containing a metal sample and salt to the end of a proton accelerator. Experiments to date show that proton irradiation decreases the rate of corrosion in certain metal alloys — potentially good news for designers of promising nuclear power reactors that rely on molten salts, which tend to be highly corrosive.

Optimizing nuclear fuels for next-generation reactors

MIT Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering

“I told myself I was going to find myself in a career that allows me to develop energy technologies that can easily be scaled to meet the energy needs of the world, including my own country,” says Assistant Professor Ericmoore Jossou.

Making the clean energy transition work for everyone

The Energy Conference featured a keynote discussion between MIT President Sally Kornbluth and MIT’s Kyocera Professor of Ceramics Yet-Ming Chiang, in which Kornbluth discussed her first year at MIT as well as a recently announced, campus-wide effort to solve critical climate problems known as the Climate Project at MIT.

Cutting carbon emissions on the US power grid

MIT Energy Initiative

An online model developed by an MIT Energy Initiative team enables other researchers and operators of U.S. regional grids to explore possible pathways to decarbonization. Case studies of the nine regional power grids shown here confirm the importance of designing a strategy based on the resources and electricity demand profiles of specific regions.

Moving past the Iron Age

MIT Energy Initiative

Sydney Johnson, an MBA and PhD candidate and researcher in the MIT Energy Initiative, is building models that can calculate the cost and effectiveness of various strategies for cutting carbon dioxide emissions in steel production plants. Her techniques can be applied to many other hard-to-decarbonize industries.

MIT researchers map the energy transition’s effects on jobs

A new map shows which U.S. counties have the highest concentration of jobs that could be affected by the transition to renewable energy, based on new research by Christopher Knittel, the George P. Shultz Professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management, and Kailin Graham, of MIT’s Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research. Counties in blue are less potentially affected by the energy transition, and counties in red are more potentially affected.
