Methane is a greenhouse gas that is less abundant than carbon dioxide, but has a much more potent effect. It is also a greenhouse gas that is often present in natural systems. Zhuang et al. used...
As governments begin to consider regulation of greenhouse gases, many are turning to market-based initiatives. Such programs assign emitters a certain share of emissions, and allow them to trade for...
Plasma Fuel Converters convert carbon fuel to rich hydrogen gas by electrifying fuel in an engine. This increases the efficient burning of the fuel, and reduces the resulting pollutants. This...
This paper explores the consequences of cap-and-trade policies, where the total air pollutant emissions of a whole set of polluters are limited, and they are allowed to trade among themselves for the...
Professor Larry Susskind at MIT has pioneered the concept of Public Entrepreneurship Networks. This theory illustrates how government interacts with non-governmental institutions (industry,...
The Chisholm Lab at MIT has done groundbreaking work on the role of phytoplankton in ocean systems, including the discovery of a new species of phytoplankton, Prochlorococcus, found to be an abundant...
Cleanup! is an educational software package that allows students to learn about hazardous waste site characterization and remediation. The software models a contamination scenario that students can...
Oceans play a significant role in the behavior of climate, and of simulated climate models. Models still do not precisely replicate the behavior of oceans, due to the lack of quantifiable data of...
A continuation of previous work, the study provides a comparative analysis of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles to conventional internal combustion and hybrid engines, examining both life-cycle energy use...
Design that Matters is a non-profit that grew out of projects at MIT to "help(s) underserved communities realize an improved quality of life by creating products and services that meet needs...
