MIT Energy Initiative

Found Industries, a venture highlighted by the MIT Energy Initiative, is working to strengthen America's industrial supply chains. The company is focused on building more resilient domestic supply networks for industrial materials, an area of growing strategic concern for the United States as it seeks to reduce dependence on foreign suppliers and secure critical inputs for manufacturing and energy.

Research from the MIT Energy Initiative concludes that electric vehicles deliver emissions benefits and cost savings for most American drivers. The findings address common consumer hesitations around EV ownership by pointing to lower running costs and a cleaner grid mix across much of the country, reinforcing arguments that switching to electric makes financial and environmental sense for typical households.

The deputy director of the MIT Energy Initiative has been named a fellow of the American Geophysical Union, one of the highest honours in the earth and space sciences. The recognition highlights contributions to energy and geoscience research, and the announcement is being shared by the MIT Energy Initiative and its community.
