New analysis finds Asia produces twice as much mercury emissions as previously thought
Green Car Congress
AUGUST 12, 2015
New analysis by an international team led by MIT researchers shows that Asia now releases a surprisingly large amount of anthropogenic mercury. The result of this work, researchers say, could improve estimates of mercury pollution, and help refine pollution-control strategies around the world. It was higher than we expected.
PHEVLERs are the Zero CO2 Clean Green Machines of the Future
Green Car Congress
APRIL 22, 2016
PHEVLERs Provide Value to the Drivers PHEVLERs use the Existing Energy Infrastructure PHEVLERs use Clean Fuels to Reduce Air Pollution. Thus, PHEVLERs and other electric vehicles may be allowed to continue driving when governments ban fossil fuel vehicles from driving in city centers due to air pollution crises or other reasons. [

Her dissertation focused on developing methods to determine a baseline for concentrations of pollutants in the atmosphere based on historical spatial-temporal measurements. Mildred Dresselhaus worked at MIT, which she joined in 1960 as a researcher in its Lincoln Laboratory Solid State Division, in Lexington, Mass. She earned her Ph.D.
MIT team calculates lead emissions from avgas fuel in US contribute to ~$1B in annual damages due to IQ losses
Green Car Congress
AUGUST 24, 2016
Researchers at MIT have produced the first assessment of the annual costs of IQ losses from aircraft lead emissions in the US. Their study, published in the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology , found that that atmospheric lead pollution attributable to leaded aviation gas (avgas) contributes to US$1.06 Click to enlarge.
CMU/MIT study finds large-scale battery manufacturing will do little to reduce unit costs past a 200-300 MWh annual production level
Green Car Congress
OCTOBER 22, 2014
A new techno-economic analysis by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and MIT has found that economies of scale for manufacturing current Li-ion batteries for light-duty EV applications (in this case, prismatic pouch NMC333-G batteries and packs) are reached quickly at around 200-300 MWh annual production.

the session counted among its panelists: Professor John Heywood, Sun Jae Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Director of the Sloan Auto Laboratory at MIT. Prof Cervero acknowledges “ that it is easier to get the pollution, rather than the people, out of the car ” and is a big supporter of car sharing. Earlier post.)]. 27.5 / 22.2.
