When Earth iced over, early life may have sheltered in meltwater ponds

Researchers Ian Hawes of the University of Waikato and Marc Schallenberg of the University of Otago measure the physicochemical conditions of a meltwater pond.

Decarbonizing steel is as tough as steel

Advanced steelmaking technologies could enable significant decarbonization of the iron and steel sector and improve the world’s chances of achieving long-term climate goals.

How to solve a bottleneck for CO2 capture and conversion

MIT researchers added nanoscale filtering membranes to a carbon-capture system, separating the ions that carry out the capture and release steps, and enabling both steps to proceed more efficiently.

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.

Study: The ozone hole is healing, thanks to global reduction of CFCs

An MIT-led study confirms the Antarctic ozone layer is healing as a direct result of global efforts to reduce ozone-depleting substances. Foreground image of the ozone layer is from Sept. 28, 2024.

Toward sustainable decarbonization of aviation in Latin America

In a recent study, researchers assessed sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) feedstock availability, the costs of corresponding SAF pathways, and how SAF deployment would likely impact fuel use, prices, emissions, and aviation demand in six countries.

Designing tiny filters to solve big problems

“I would love to see a world where we could eliminate thermal separations, and where heat is no longer a problem in creating the things that we need and producing the energy that we need,” Zachary Smith says.

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).

Reality check on technologies to remove carbon dioxide from the air

MIT Energy Initiative

Pictured are two of the four absorber units at Climeworks’ direct air capture and storage plant, Orca, in Hellisheidi, Iceland. Each absorber unit can remove about 1,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year.
