🔋 New research at Andlinger Center shows that the minerals needed for EV batteries could create pollution hotspots near their manufacturing hubs. bit.ly/3VCdogC


While electric vehicles have become a cornerstone of the global energy transition, new research led by Andlinger Center demonstrates that refining the critical minerals needed for EV batteries could create pollution hotspots near manufacturing hubs. bit.ly/3VJ3Wru




Drawing from the takeaways of a Princeton School of Public & International Affairs in D.C. workshop, Wei Peng and co-authors publishing in One Earth identified challenges and opportunities for incorporating health and equity considerations into energy decision-making processes. bit.ly/4ho5HTm


Could the EV transition be a double-edged sword? Research led by Wei Peng reveals that while EVs are key for a sustainable future, they could create air pollution hotspots due to increased emissions from refining minerals. Princeton School of Public & International Affairs bit.ly/4iYhyID


Climate actions not only reduce CO2 but also lower the health impacts from air pollution. A recent study by Andlinger Center and Center for Global Sustainability finds that combined federal and subnational U.S. climate actions can reduce PM2.5-related deaths by 6,600 in 2030: cell.com/one-earth/full…
