⚡ What can we do with excess solar and wind energy, besides store it? MIT Emeritus Professor Paul Joskow describes two strategies for using excess energy: powering activities with flexible demand—while creating incentives for this behavior—and building out transmission systems to move excess energy from areas of high supply to areas of high demand.

⚡ MIT engineers have developed a comprehensive, physics-based model of rotor aerodynamics that could improve the design and operation of turbine blades and wind farms, even under extreme conditions. This model could maximize power output by optimizing turbine rotation speed and blade angles. “This is what we’re so excited about, is that it has immediate and direct potential for impact across the value chain of wind power,” states Assistant Professor Michael Howland.

Nuclear energy accounted for almost half of the United States' low-carbon electricity in 2023, but this energy comes primarily from power plants using technology from the 1960s and 70s. New designs and alternative fuels are ushering in the next generation of nuclear reactors for a decarbonized future. Learn more via MIT Climate: https://lnkd.in/dfrG9GmW

🌎 How do we attribute emissions to a country to accurately determine adherence to their Paris Agreement pledge? MIT Emeritus Professor Henry Jacoby states that the accounting process is "simpler than one might imagine." The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change states that each nation is responsible for only its Scope 1 emissions—the emissions that occur within its borders—even if a product is destined for somewhere else. However, the Paris Agreement does allow for some emissions trading. Learn more via MIT Climate: https://lnkd.in/e5TT9aA8
When countries pledge to lower their emissions under the Paris Agreement, how do we count which emissions belong to which countries?

In the race to achieve carbon-free commercial fusion energy, one stumbling block has been that key structural metals inside proposed fusion reactors can fail in just a few months. MIT engineers have demonstrated that adding nanoparticles of certain ceramics to the metals can protect them from damage and significantly extend their lifetime.

This summer eight undergraduate and graduate students visited the Netherlands on a MITEI-sponsored field trip to experience first-hand the country's approach to the energy transition. From learning about creating hydrogen pipelines in the North Sea to climate-proofing a fuel-guzzling, asphalt-dense neighborhood, the students spent a full week immersed in clean energy efforts with researchers, corporate leaders, and non-governmental organizations.
