MIT’s 2024 Decarbonization Progress Report

In fiscal year 2024, MIT reduced its total building-related on-campus emissions by 3 percent from the previous year, even after the addition of the new Schwarzman College of Computing and Tina and Hamid Moghadam Building. This reduction in emissions is largely attributed to energy efficiency projects targeting multiple campus buildings.

MIT’s Summit Farms solar power purchase agreement (PPA) enabled the Institute to offset 9 percent of its total on-campus emissions in fiscal year 2024.  Including all sources of campus emissions and the impact ofthe PPA, MIT’s emissions in 2024 were 15 percent below the total 2014 baseline, despite significant growth in campus facilities, including MIT.nano and many others.
