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.

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.

Q&A: Examining American attitudes on global climate policies

An MIT team recently published a study on public sentiment regarding climate policy. The co-authors are (left to right) Professor Evan Lieberman, Associate Professor Volha Charnysh, PhD student Jared Kalow, and Erin Walk PhD ’24. “Our research suggests that emphasizing a bit of blaming and shaming is more powerful than more diffuse messages of shared responsibility,” Lieberman explains.

Is there enough land on Earth to fight climate change and feed the world?

A study led by MIT Center for Sustainability Science and Strategy researchers shows that there is enough land to support efforts to cap global warming at 1.5 degrees Celsius while addressing competing needs for long-term food security and ecosystem health.
