Paths to Scalable Carbon Neutrality for MIT
The goal of this report is to provide actionable recommendations for paths to carbon neutrality from MITs largest group of stakeholders, students. In the report, we consider the optimization of emissions reductions, the timescale of solution implementation, cost, scalability, and the associated risks inherent to two different scenarios. Similarly, it leverages MITs strengths, such as its position as the world leader in technology and innovation as well as its financial strength, which enables it to make relatively low return investments and use contracting power to enable renewable projects.
