Heating and cooling is the biggest driver of energy use in homes and commercial buildings. Technology and building design can help keep us comfortable while reducing the impact of that energy use on the climate.| MIT Climate Portal
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
Nuclear energy is low-carbon energy made by breaking the bonds that hold particles together inside an atom.| 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
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
Carbon capture and storage is a technology that captures the carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels before it is released to the atmosphere.| MIT Climate Portal
