Hydrogen is the most abundant chemical substance in the universe. It can be used as a fuel that does not produce greenhouse gases when burned.| 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
Mining provides us with the building blocks of modern society, but much of the energy used to get minerals out of the ground, and process them, today comes from fossil fuels.| 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
It depends exactly where and how the battery is made—but when it comes to clean technologies like electric cars and solar power, even the dirtiest batteries emit less CO2 than using no battery at all.| 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
