New Study to Evaluate the Prospects of Solar Energy
|
Did you know Trivia - In a major new project that could help set the agenda for policymakers, researchers and industry leaders, a team of MIT faculty members has begun a comprehensive study of the technology and the economics of a variety of approaches to harnessing the power of the sun.
Under the direction of Institute Professor John Deutch, the group will spend about a year and a half analyzing the prospects for solar photovoltaics, solar thermal generating systems, solar water heating, and the use of solar energy to produce fuels.
The MIT Future of Solar Energy Study will be the third in a series of broad studies of energy options, joining earlier studies on the future of coal and the future of nuclear power. "Once again, we're going to do a study on a big energy area," says Deutch. "We're looking for it to be both widely read and influential."
