MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI)
We're using innovation to power the future. Join us.
Exponential increases in energy use, political instability surrounding oil resources in the Middle East and elsewhere, and detrimental effects of greenhouse gas emissions on the environment: for MIT, these are the next problems to solve.
The scope of the world’s energy problems calls for a comprehensive portfolio of responses to environmental, economic, scientific, security, and political issues. To address problems of this scale, the work must be done on all fronts. Under the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI), Institute researchers are hard at work on that portfolio, with an interdisciplinary plan to address energy needs in the short-term—alleviating immediate shortage, security, and environmental concerns. They are also working to address long-term needs—finding secure, economically viable, and environmentally sustainable energy sources.
An integral part of MIT’s history of problem solving is the convergence of science, technology, and policy. Today, the Institute brings its strengths in science, technology, urban design, economics, and other fields together in an interdisciplinary approach to a crisis that threatens our security, our environment, and our economic future.
