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. Left to right: Audun Botterud, Saurabh Amin, Rahman Khorramfar, Morgan Santoni-Colvin, and Leslie Norford. Not pictured: Dharik Mallapragada.
