The MIT Energy Initiative has released a new report on reducing carbon dioxide emissions from existing coal plants. Professor Ernest Moniz, director of the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI). Consideration should be given to including a component for research on CO2 capture from natural gas power plants.

As the world grapples with the pressing issue of climate change, it is evident that we need swift action to avert its worst impacts. As one MIT report found, on average, “a fully electric vehicle emits about 25 percent less carbon than a comparable hybrid car.” A straightforward switch can create a substantial positive effect.

The researchers concluded that models of climate change may be underestimating how much water is likely to run off the land and back into the sea as atmospheric chemistry changes. Either way, water resource managers need more accurate runoff estimates to plan better for the changes. Credit: NASA. Click to enlarge.

Researchers also used the system to create PHB, a bio-plastic precursor, a process first demonstrated by MIT professor Anthony Sinskey. The Harvard University Climate Change Solutions Fund is supporting ongoing research into the "bionic leaf" platform. This is the genius of Dan. Chong Liu, Brendan C. Silver, Daniel G.

Aviation climate change impacts pathway. A new study by researchers at MIT has found that factoring the non-CO 2 combustion emissions and effects into the lifecycle of a Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene (SPK) aviation fuel can lead to a decrease in the relative environmental merit of the SPK fuel compared to conventional jet fuel.

A separate paper published online in Science Express by researchers from the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole and MIT concludes that indirect land use change associated with global biofuels programs will be responsible for substantially more carbon loss (up to twice as much) than direct land use. issue of the journal Science.
