Sustainable Future
Together, we're protecting new kinds of research and helping to put innovative technologies into the hands of consumers, increasing access to sustainable solutions and improving environmental outcomes.
Every day, MIT researchers are revolutionizing the world of sustainability, helping us to better understand and address the environmental challenges we face. Through the licensing and protection of these innovations, TLO supports researchers and startups in breaking down traditional barriers so that environmental problems can be detected earlier and less invasive solutions are provided faster. This results in a dramatic increase in both environmental sustainability and quality of life for millions of individuals.
What This Looks Like in Practice
- Carbon capture and storage: Technologies that capture and store carbon dioxide emissions before they enter the atmosphere, helping to mitigate climate change.
- Renewable energy: Technologies that generate clean electricity from renewable sources, such as solar and wind power.
- Sustainable agriculture: Technologies that help farmers produce food in a more sustainable way, using less water and pesticides.
- Waste management: Technologies that help us reduce, reuse, and recycle waste, reducing pollution and conserving resources.
MIT researchers are working on a wide range of technologies to address climate change and other environmental challenges. We are committed to making these technologies available to the public as quickly as possible, so that we can make a real difference in the world. ”
