Energizing@MIT: MITEI’s Annual Research Conference frames the key technology, policy, and economic drivers that are shaping today’s energy system and its future. This year’s theme is Tackling emerging energy challenges. We will explore grid resiliency, energy storage, vehicle electrification, carbon capture, low-carbon fuels, and geopolitics, and we will hear from MITEI-funded startups on their path from lab to market. We will also review promising discoveries from MITEI’s Seed Fund program, which supports innovative early-stage research, as well as hear from MIT UROP students, Energy Scholars, and Future Energy Systems Center project teams.
