How to solve a bottleneck for CO2 capture and conversion

MIT News
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.

For plants, urban heat islands don’t mimic global warming

MIT News
Meghan Blumstein studied red oak genotypes across New England, concentrating on trees that were within reach in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She then collaborated with people doing research at the Harvard Forest, a research forest in rural central Massachusetts.

Designing tiny filters to solve big problems

MIT News
“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.

Advancing urban tree monitoring with AI-powered digital twins

MIT News
MIT Assistant Professor Sara Beery contributed to the new Tree D-fusion system, which can generate a simulation-ready 3D model of a real tree from images such as those found on Google Street View. The system leverages a tree shape generated using species- and environment-specific data to create realistic, lifelike tree models.
