HOUGHTON, MI— Michigan Tech is one of five organizations to receive a grant through the MI Healthy Climate Challenge #4: Go Big, Go Clean.
The initiative aims to accelerate the clean energy transition by supporting feasibility studies about practical, near-term decarbonization methods in Michigan industry. It also identifies the technologies, conditions, and support needed to achieve deeper emissions reductions over time.
