- Using liquid air for grid-scale energy storage - MIT News
The model then draws on state-of-the-art pricing data that’s released every year by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and is widely used by energy modelers worldwide The NREL dataset forecasts prices, construction and retirement of specific types of electricity generation and storage facilities, and more, assuming eight
- Ensuring a durable transition - MIT News
And one-in-16 new jobs nationwide were in clean energy, with clean energy jobs growing more than three times faster than job growth economy-wide” In this rapid expansion, the U S Department of Energy (DoE) is prioritizing economically marginalized places, according to Zoe Lipman, lead for good jobs and labor standards in the Office of Energy
- Explained: Generative AI’s environmental impact - MIT News
Plus, generative AI models have an especially short shelf-life, driven by rising demand for new AI applications Companies release new models every few weeks, so the energy used to train prior versions goes to waste, Bashir adds New models often consume more energy for training, since they usually have more parameters than their predecessors
- New facility to accelerate materials solutions for fusion energy
By utilizing this approach, the PSFC is executing a major public-private partnership in fusion energy, realizing a research model that the U S fusion community has only recently started to explore, and demonstrating the crucial role that universities can play in the acceleration of the materials and technology required for fusion energy
- A new approach could fractionate crude oil using much less energy
Most of that energy goes into the heat needed to separate the components by their boiling point In an advance that could dramatically reduce the amount of energy needed for crude oil fractionation, MIT engineers have developed a membrane that filters the components of crude oil by their molecular size
- MIT Climate and Energy Ventures class spins out entrepreneurs — and . . .
The pair also launched the Climate and Energy Prize around the same time, which continues today and recently received over 150 applications from teams from around the world A core feature of the class is connecting students in different academic fields
- A nonflammable battery to power a safer, decarbonized future
Now Alsym Energy has developed a nonflammable, nontoxic alternative to lithium-ion batteries to help renewables like wind and solar bridge the gap in a broader range of sectors The company’s electrodes use relatively stable, abundant materials, and its electrolyte is primarily water with some nontoxic add-ons
- Transforming fusion from a scientific curiosity into a powerful clean . . .
The problem got harder when, in Hartwig’s last year in graduate school, the Department of Energy announced plans to terminate funding for the Alcator C-Mod tokamak, a major fusion experiment in MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center that Hartwig needed to do to graduate Hartwig was able to finish his PhD, and the scare didn’t dissuade
