Thu, 06/17/2010 – 17:18 The PSEL is expanding through the addition of two new PIs, Prof. Richard D. Braatz andProf. George Stephanopoulos. Prof. Braatz will be joining the MIT faculty in September. Prof. Braatz's experience in simulation, design, and control of multiscale systems and Prof. Stephanopoulos's work on nanoscale process systems engineering will compliment ongoing research in the PSEL.

Wed, 02/17/2010 – 15:44 Scientific American reports on the novel natural gas plant proposed by Tom Adams and Paul I. Barton.

Tue, 12/15/2009 – 03:13 Tom Adams and Paul I. Barton developed a novel high-efficiency system with no atmospheric CO2 emissions to produce electricity from natural gas. The proposed process uses fuel cells and carbon capture, and it will be economically competitive with current natural-gas plants. See our recent publication in J. of Power Sources. It has been featured on…
