Climate targets are the limits that scientists and policymakers set in plans to combat climate change.| MIT Climate Portal
Wind energy is a form of carbon-free, renewable energy, which today makes electricity at a lower average cost than any other form of new-built energy.| MIT Climate Portal
Electric vehicles are a cleaner alternative to gasoline- or diesel-powered cars and trucks—both in terms of harmful air pollution, and the greenhouse gas emissions that are causing climate change.| MIT Climate Portal
Renewable energy is energy from sources, like wind, solar, and hydropower, that we cannot run out of.| MIT Climate Portal
Energy storage is technology that holds energy at one time so it can be used at another time. Cheap and abundant energy storage is a key challenge for a low-carbon energy system.| MIT Climate Portal
The electric grid is a network of power lines and other infrastructure that moves electricity from power plants to our homes and businesses—and its design affects our options for building a clean energy system.| MIT Climate Portal
Greenhouse gases are gases—like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide—that keep the Earth warmer than it would be without them.| MIT Climate Portal
