How to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ammonia production

MIT Energy Initiative

MIT researchers have proposed an approach for combined blue-green ammonia production that minimizes waste products and, when combined with some other simple upgrades, could reduce the greenhouse emissions from ammonia production by as much as 63 percent, compared to the leading “low-emissions” approach being used today.

Concrete “battery” developed at MIT now packs 10 times the power

An electron-conducting carbon concrete (ec³)-based arch structure integrates supercapacitor electrodes for dual functionality. The prototype demonstrates both structural load bearing and the ability to power an LED, with the light’s intensity varying under applied load, highlighting the potential for real-time structural health monitoring via the supercapacitor.
