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). We may not see a strong CO 2 price signal for many years. Such plants make up less than half of the existing fleet.

Researchers at MIT have developed a method that could significantly boost the performance of carbon capture and conversion systems that use catalytic surfaces to enhance the rates of carbon-sequestering electrochemical reactions. The movement through water is sluggish, which slows the rate of conversion of the carbon dioxide.
