DescriptionMeeting the Challenge of Local Sustainable Energy: MIT Portugal’s Azores Green Islands Project 9:00 – 11:00 a.m. MIT / Cambridge, Massachusetts MIT Energy Initiative Conference Room E19-319 / 50 Ames Street (corner of Ames and Main Street/Kendall Square) In collaboration with government and industry in the Azores, Portugal’s mid-Atlantic archipelago, the MIT Portugal Program is developing an integrated suite of research and demonstration projects aimed at identifying near-, medium- and long-term opportunities for reducing the Azores’ energy and environmental footprint. This includes high percentages of renewables, smart grids, sustainable buildings, electric transportation and related technologies, policies, systems and infrastructures. This presentation will highlight the novel scientific challenges of “local energy sustainability” and will include snapshots of ongoing PhD research.
