Save the date for the MIT 24-Hour Challenge on Tuesday, March 14!
The MIT 24-Hour Challenge is returning this Pi Day, and MITEI will be holding a special microchallenge!
The Challenge: If 50 donors make gifts of any size to the MIT Energy Initiative Fund, Bill Vanderson ’99 MNG ’00 & Christina Gehrke ’99 will donate $5,000. If 50 more donors make gifts, the alumni will contribute another $5,000.
Your impact: Support from generous friends like you during the MIT 24-Hour Challenge will help MITEI: 
  • accelerate commercialization of new no- and low-carbon technologies from MIT labs to the market,
  • educate future thinkers and doers who will transform our future energy systems, and
  • help create clean, stable sources of energy for those who so urgently need them.

Biological pump
The biological pump is the slow movement of carbon from the atmosphere, through phytoplankton, up the food chain, and into the deep ocean. This process helps remove CO2 from the atmosphere and balance the Earth’s climate.
