Recovering from the past and transitioning to a better energy future

MIT Energy Initiative
Emily Carter (right), the Gerhard R. Andlinger Professor in Energy and the Environment at Princeton University, explained how climate change mitigation must include transformation, intervention, and adaptation strategies. William Green, director of the MIT Energy Initiative, moderated the discussion.

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.

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.
