class="page-title">MIT Energy Initiative</h1> <div id="textcontainer" class="page_content"> <p>The <a href="http://energy.mit.edu">MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI)</a> is MIT's hub for energy research, education, and outreach. Founded in 2006, MITEI helps develop technologies and solutions to decarbonize the energy sector鈥攚ith goals of combatting climate change and expanding energy access. Within MIT, MITEI fosters a sense of community among those interested in energy鈥攊ncluding providing hands-on learning and funding opportunities, supporting student-led energy groups, hosting events with thought leaders across the energy spectrum, and providing students interested in studying energy-related activities with a place to gather, form teams, and discuss projects with the Undergraduate Energy Commons in Building 10.</p> <a name="research"></a> <h2>Research</h2> <p>MITEI pairs world-class research teams from across the Institute with its industry and government members to respond to specific energy challenges. MITEI's own <a href="http://energy.mit.edu/research/">research and analysis team</a>聽draws on a wealth of experience in analysis of energy systems and technologies, as well as technoeconomic analysis expertise, to advance research in a wide range of areas.聽As a vital component of MIT鈥檚聽<a href="https://climate.mit.edu/climateaction/fastforward" target="_blank">Climate Action Plan for the Decade</a>聽and MITEI鈥檚聽<a href="https://energy.mit.edu/research/" target="_blank">research program</a>, MITEI's聽<a href="https://energy.mit.edu/futureenergysystemscenter/" target="_blank">Future Energy Systems Center</a>聽presents opportunities for faculty, students, industry, and government to advance research and development in key technology areas and energy subsector systems for curbing climate change. Through the center, researchers conduct integrated analysis of the energy system, providing insights into the complex multisectoral transformations that will alter the power and transportation systems, industry, and built environment.</p> <a name="spaneducationspan"></a> <h2><span>Education</span></h2> <p><a href="http://energy.mit.edu/landing-page/education/">MITEI's Education Program</a>聽offers programs and opportunities that prepare future energy innovators, researchers, and policy makers to confront the urgent global challenges of developing low- and zero-carbon energy solutions to address climate change and expand energy access. We serve undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral scholars at MIT and around the world. In the classroom, online, and through hands-on experiences, students develop broad and deep knowledge in diverse areas, hone and practice necessary skills, and network with peers and professionals.</p> <ul> <li>The聽<a href="http://catalog.mit.edu/interdisciplinary/undergraduate-programs/minors/energy-studies/">Energy Studies Minor</a>聽grounds students in the triple challenge of energy鈥攑roducing more energy for a growing global population while removing carbon emissions from the energy system in the necessary timeframe to mitigate climate change. Students gain an integrative understanding of energy and develop the skills required of tomorrow鈥檚 energy professionals, leaders, and innovators in research, industry, policy, management, and governance.</li> <li><a href="http://energy.mit.edu/education/fellows/">MITEI Energy Fellowships</a> support graduate students and postdocs in many of the sponsored research projects funded by MITEI鈥檚 founding members, sustaining members, and philanthropic contributors. These fellowships are in areas related to renewable energy and other low-carbon and energy efficiency research.</li> <li>Supporting undergraduates through the聽<a href="https://energy.mit.edu/education/undergraduate/urop/">MITEI Energy UROP</a>聽is an important component of MITEI鈥檚 commitment to training tomorrow鈥檚 energy innovators to provide a growing global population with affordable, sustainable energy access and tackle climate change. While MITEI funds UROPs year-round, students funded over the summer participate in ten weeks of programming, where they learn to communicate their research effectively. Instead of writing a report at the end of their experience, MITEI UROPs contribute to climate education goals by translating their research for strategically relevant audiences in an appropriate format.</li> <li>An online database with information on energy subjects in departments across all five schools is updated multiple times per year.</li> <li>Student groups focusing on energy and topics related to the climate crisis can bring their ideas to MITEI and may receive funding (if available) and some administrative support.</li> <li>Students experience first-hand how countries outside of the United States are implementing renewable energy technology by attending MITEI鈥檚 energy fieldtrip abroad. There are opportunities to meet experts in the field鈥攁t startups and established companies鈥攁nd learn from those who are making renewable energy a reality. Previous trips have taken students to Denmark and Germany.</li> <li><a href="https://energy.mit.edu/education/online/" title="https://energy.mit.edu/education/online/">MITEI鈥檚 online courses</a>聽give learners around the world and at MIT access to graduate-level energy and climate content based on residential MIT classes. Courses are free to audit and currently include: Sustainable Building Design, Energy Economics and Policy, Sustainable Energy, and Transformative Living Labs in Urban Climate Action and Transportation Planning.</li> </ul> <a name="outreach"></a> <h2>Outreach</h2> <p>MITEI provides <a href="https://energy.mit.edu/studies-reports/">in-depth, high-quality analysis about current energy topics</a> for policymakers, industry leaders, and the public. The most recent reports in MITEI鈥檚 series on energy technologies and sources are聽<em>The Future of Energy Storage</em> (2022),聽<em>The Future of Nuclear Energy in a Carbon-Constrained World</em> (2018), and <em>The Future of Solar Energy </em>(2015). The two reports to date in MITEI鈥檚 series on energy-related systems and sectors are <em>Insights into Future Mobility </em>(2019) and <em>Utility of the Future</em> (2016).</p> <p>MITEI fosters dialogue within the research community at MIT and beyond, and with industry, NGOs, and government. In addition to informing public policy, MITEI provides the MIT community and the public with context on current energy issues through <a href="https://energy.mit.edu/events/">in-person and virtual events on timely energy topics</a>鈥攚ith speakers from within MIT as well as outside experts. MITEI also facilitates opportunities for MIT faculty, staff, and students to participate in external events.</p> <p>MITEI鈥檚 communications team highlights the work of the MIT energy community through media articles and across digital and print platforms鈥攊ncluding a <a href="https://energy.mit.edu/subscribe/">weekly newsletter</a>, social media channels, and podcast.</p> </div> </div>  </div> </div>  <div id="footer" role="contentinfo"> <div class="wrap"> <div id="footer-links"> <a href="http://mitadmissions.org/apply" target="_blank">Admissions</a><a href="http://sfs.mit.edu/" target="_blank">Financial Aid</a><a href="http://web.mit.edu/registrar/" target="_blank">Registrar</a><a href="http://web.mit.edu/iap/" target="_blank">IAP</a><a href="/summer/">Summer</a><a href="http://professional.mit.edu" target="_blank">Professional Education</a><a href="https://www.edx.org/school/mitx" class="mitx" target="_blank">MITx</a><a href="https://outreach.mit.edu/" target="_blank">K-12</a><a href="http://whereis.mit.edu/" target="_blank">Campus Map</a><br/><a href="https://officesdirectory.mit.edu/" target="_blank">Directories</a><a href="/about-bulletin/">About the Bulletin</a><a href="/nondiscrimination-policy/">Nondiscrimination Policy</a><a href="/changelog/">Changes</a><a href="/help/">Help</a><a href="https://accessibility.mit.edu/" target="_blank">Accessibility</a> </div> <div id="footer-branding" class="clearfix"> <div class="foot-col" id="right"> <div id="footer-mit-logo"><img src="/images/mit-logo-footer.svg" alt="MIT" width="185px" /></div> </div> <div class="foot-col" id="left"> <div id="footer-bulletin"><img src="/images/mit-bulletin-logo-footer-24-25.png" alt="MIT Academic Bulletin" /></div> <div id="footer-contact">77 Massachusetts Avenue<br/>Cambridge, MA 02139-4307</div> </div> </div> </div> <a href="#header" id="totop"><span class="sr-only">Back to top</span></a> </div>  <div id="print-dialog" class="screen noscript" role="dialog"> <div class="print-header"> Print Options </div> <div class="print-body"> <div class="print-option"> <div class="option-head"> <a href="#" onclick="hidePrintDialog();window.print();return false">Send Page to Printer</a> </div> <p> <em>Print this page.</em> </p> </div> <div class="print-option"><div class="option-head"><a href="mit-energy-initiative.pdf" target="_blank">Download PDF of this Page</a></div><p><em>The PDF includes all information on this page and its related tabs.
