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
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
Recovering from the past and transitioning to a better energy future . . . Transitioning to a decarbonized electricity system is one piece of the puzzle Growing amounts of solar and wind energy — along with nuclear, hydropower, and geothermal — are slowly transforming the energy electricity landscape, but Carter noted that there are new technologies farther down the pipeline
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
Power when the sun doesn’t shine - MIT News A study by the nonprofit LDES (Long Duration Energy Storage) Council pegs the long-duration energy storage market at between 80 and 140 terawatt-hours by 2040 “That’s a really big number,” Chiang notes “Every 10 people on the planet will need access to the equivalent of one EV [electric vehicle] battery to support their energy needs ”
Study shows how households can cut energy costs - MIT News In the U S , separate research has shown that about three in 10 households report trouble paying energy bills To conduct the experiment, the researchers ran two versions of an energy coaching intervention In one version, 67 households received one report on their energy usage, along with coaching about how to increase energy efficiency
Startup turns mining waste into critical metals for the U. S. At the heart of the energy transition is a metal transition Wind farms, solar panels, and electric cars require many times more copper, zinc, and nickel than their gas-powered alternatives They also require more exotic metals with unique properties, known as rare earth elements, which are essential for the magnets that go into things like
Unlocking the hidden power of boiling — for energy, space, and beyond . . . My research has implications for space propulsion, energy storage, electronics, and the increasingly important task of cooling computers ” Bucci’s lab has developed new experimental techniques to shed light on a wide range of boiling and heat transfer phenomena that have limited energy projects for decades
