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
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
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
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
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
Preparing Taiwan for a decarbonized economy - MIT News Taiwan’s Innovative Green Economy Roadmap (TIGER) is a two-year program with the MIT Energy Initiative, exploring ways that industry and government can promote and adopt technologies, practices, and policies that will keep Taiwan competitive amid a quickly changing energy landscape
Photonic processor could enable ultrafast AI computations with extreme . . . Researchers developed a fully integrated photonic processor that can perform all the key computations of a deep neural network on a photonic chip, using light This advance could improve the speed and energy-efficiency of running intensive deep learning models for applications like lidar, astronomical research, and navigation
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 ”
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
