The millimeter-wave drilling technology invented at PSFC and being commercialized by Quaise Energy is the highest-profile next-generation geothermal innovation to emerge from MIT so far. Millimeter-wave technology uses microwave energy to vaporize rock and could prove to be several times faster than conventional drilling. A look at how AI can be used to help support the clean energy transition by helping to manage power grid operations, plan infrastructure investments, guide the development of novel materials, and more.
Understanding the Context
At the MIT Energy Initiative’s Annual Research Conference, industry leaders agreed collaboration is key to advancing critical technologies amidst a changing energy landscape. Massachusetts Clean Energy Center CEO MBA ’12 Emily Reichert highlights the state government’s unique approach to fostering and keeping clean energy innovation. MIT engineers developed a membrane that filters the components of crude oil by their molecular size, an advance that could dramatically reduce the amount of energy needed for crude oil fractionation. New research emphasizes the importance of well-validated models and forecasting tools in evaluating choices for investments in clean energy technologies and policies by governments and companies.

Key Insights
MIT engineers created a carbon-cement supercapacitor that can store large amounts of energy. Made of just cement, water, and carbon black, the device could form the basis for inexpensive systems that store intermittently renewable energy, such as solar or wind energy. MIT Energy Initiative researchers calculated the economic and environmental impact of future ammonia energy production and trade pathways.
