Here's another chance to listen - podcast of Planet Philadelphia aired 7/16/21

In this Planet Philadelphia aired 7/16/21 we hear about a new way to think about coal. What if we could continue to use coal, preserve the jobs related to coal, and simultaneously reduce or eliminate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by burning coal for fuel – and reduce GHG gases in the building sector. We talk about all this with Dr. Nicola Ferralis, Research Scientist in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at MIT and Program Manager for the MIT Energy Initiative Low Energy Carbon Center on Energy Storage.

What if we could continue to use coal, preserve the jobs related to coal, and simultaneously reduce or eliminate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by burning coal for fuel. What if, through other uses for coal, we could reduce the greenhouse gases used in the building sector, one of the largest sources of GHGs.

Dr. Nicola Ferralis is a Research Scientist in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at MIT and Program Manager for the MIT Energy Initiative Low Energy Carbon Center on Energy Storage. A lot of his work is on technologies related to energy.
