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.

MIT Energy Initiative

MIT research has provided new insights into how hydrogen fuel that escapes from pipelines and storage facilities can affect the climate. The results reinforce the need for preventing leakage if this clean-burning fuel comes into wide use.

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).
