Clean Energy Solutions:

Technological change to meet emissions reduction targets.

This course is part of our Professional Certificate Program in Sustainability

Why focus on data-informed clean energy innovation?

To avoid the worst effects of climate change, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions need to fall faster than they have risen for over a century . To do so, a collaborative effort has begun between nations and an increasing number of organizations around the world to set emissions reduction goals and accelerate progress toward climate change mitigation targets. At the center of this task lies data-informed analysis , which is crucial in the race to reduce emissions in a rapid, cost-effective way. Finding effective strategies for climate change mitigation through data-informed analyses are essential. Using these insights to make strategic decisions will help secure a healthy future for our planet by supporting a transition toward clean energy systems. If done right, this transition will offer opportunities for economic growth, job creation, and a more sustainable future for us all.

After a 85% cost decline over the past decade, solar photovoltaic systems are among the most cost-competitive energy resources on the market.

Meet the instructor of this course

Prof. jessika trancik.

Professor, Institute for Data, Systems, and Society, MIT

“Mitigating climate change is unavoidably linked to developing affordable, low-carbon energy technologies that can be adopted around the world.”

Jessika Trancik is a professor in the Institute for Data, Systems, and Society at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her research examines the impacts of technologies and the reasons behind technological change. She has developed theory and predictive models to understand why some technologies improve faster than others, and what technology features enable rapid innovation. Her work focuses in particular on accelerating clean energy development by informing decisions made by engineers, policy makers, and private investors. This work spans all energy services including electricity, transportation, heating, and industrial processes. Her theories and models have been applied to new and developing energy technologies, such as solar energy and batteries, and to electricity and transportation systems. Her models have also been used to inform government innovation policy, and applied in diverse industries, including finance, healthcare, manufacturing, software, and consumer products. Her work has been published in journals such as Nature, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Nature Energy, Nature Climate Change, and Environmental Science and Technology, and has been featured by news outlets such as the New York Times, Washington Post, Financial Times, and NPR.

Three blurbs:

• Professor Trancik received her B.S. from Cornell University and her Ph.D. from the University of Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar.
• She develops data-informed models to evaluate the economic and environmental impacts of energy technologies over time and space.
• Trancik’s models for forecasting technological change have informed engineering design, public policy, and investment portfolios.

STEVEN KELDER

Professor of Epidemiology and Behavioral Science

I’m not in a decision-making role, but I’m delighted to have been exposed to economic methods for judging technology potential in an aimed time frame. I feel optimistic towards the ultimate solution of GHG emission reductions and possibly harmful emissions width carbon sequestration. My optimism is tempered by the work that remains and the low likelihood of 1.5 or 2.0 temperature targets by 2050. I’m preparing a graduate school course on climate change and public health, and I feel more grounded in the decision trade-offs needed for progress. This class helped a lot.

• Clean Energy Solutions: Technological Change to Meet Emissions Reduction Targets

Carbon Business Development Manager​

This course exceeded my expectations and provided me with a deeper knowledge of the climate problem, current solutions, and pathways for reaching climate goals set by governments and companies. I’m optimistic that renewable solutions can be implemented to address climate concerns. The program content reinforces the need for change and more efficient energy usage.

Chief Executive Officer at innovate Engineering & Development​

I had such a fantastic time. Who said learning is boring and tough? MIT learning platform is a knowledge-sharing method that makes learning more accessible and comfortable.

Professors Jessika Transik and David Gomez are amazing people and professionals. Not only do they know what they’re talking about, but they are also capable of genuinely listening to their mentee and providing great insightful advice.

They are humble and friendly. I could not recommend them more. Now, I feel confident in myself, in the future of my business, and in saving the planet through carbon emission control.

Are you ready to mitigate climate change and accelerate technological transition?
