Building MIT Waste Wind 
Green Car Congress
APRIL 25, 2013
Researchers at MIT are proposing using a variation on pumped hydroelectric systems for storage of electricity produced by offshore wind farms. The key to this Ocean Renewable Energy Storage (ORES) system is the placement of 30-meter-diameter hollow concrete spheres on the seafloor under the wind turbines. Earlier post.).

A team at MITEI (MIT Energy Initiative) has found that hydrogen-generated electricity can be a cost-competitive option for backing up wind and solar. California draws more than 20% of its electricity from solar and approximately 7% from wind, with more VRE coming online rapidly. —Drake Hernandez.

Colorado State University will develop a novel, low-cost turbo-compression cooling system that utilizes the ultra-low-grade waste (less than 150°C) heat available in many industrial processes, the energy from which is not traditionally recovered.

As one MIT report found, on average, “a fully electric vehicle emits about 25 percent less carbon than a comparable hybrid car.” This year, we have increased our focus on waste reduction, recycling, energy conservation, and exploring more sustainable materials to incorporate into our products.

the session counted among its panelists: Professor John Heywood, Sun Jae Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Director of the Sloan Auto Laboratory at MIT. Cities account for 2% of the world’s area and yet they account for 75% of the resources and 75% of the waste ,” said Cervero. The city will have two transit levels. Heywood, J.,
