The MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI) ( edu) is MIT's hub for energy research, education, and outreach. Founded in 2006, MITEI helps develop technologies and solutions to decarbonize the energy sector—with goals of combatting climate change and expanding energy. The MIT Energy Initiative, MIT's hub for energy research, education, and outreach, is advancing zero- and low-carbon solutions to expand energy access and address climate change. MITEI is a crucial rallying point for MIT researchers and educators who share our vision and commitment to. They discover new ways of generating and storing energy, as in creating biofuels from plant waste and in holding electricity from renewable sources in cost-effective, high-capacity batteries. Explore our focus areas. This award-winning startup with roots at the MIT Energy Initiative is developing lightweight, flexible, high-efficiency solar energy films designed to be used on roofs, walls, and any curved surface. Fourth Power, founded by Professor Asegun Henry, is developing thermal batteries for efficiently.
