Energy and Environmental Engineering

As one of the most prolific participants in MIT’s Energy Initiative, the Chemical Engineering Department offers an expansive range of energy research opportunities. From paper-thin solar panels, to bacteria-made biofuels, to a math model to optimize natural gas production, our students and faculty use cutting edge resources to address the world’s energy and its environmental impact.
