Can thermal energy networks accelerate campus decarbonization?
Explore the MIT Thermal Energy Networks (MITTEN) Plan, a strategic approach designed for rapid and cost-effective decarbonization. This presentation examines how transforming thermal energy systems can reshape energy landscapes.
Presented by Susan Murcott from MIT as part of the MIT RES.ENV-007 Geothermal Energy Networks course, the video details the MITTEN Plan. The initiative focuses on the transition toward more sustainable thermal energy systems to achieve campus-wide decarbonization efficiently.
The discussion, held during the IAP 2025 session, highlights the intersection of geothermal energy networks and large-scale energy transformation, specifically looking at how these networks can be deployed to meet environmental goals.
