As Laboratory Director Steve Ashby pens his last monthly column, he highlights PNNL’s accomplishments with pride and gratitude.

PNNL biodefense experts seek to identify, understand and mitigate the risks of biological pathogens—whether naturally occurring or intentionally created—so steps can be taken to prepare and respond.

Researchers are leveraging the ocean’s natural processes to advance approaches to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in the ocean.

Algae can collect and concentrate rare earth metals from seawater—an alternative to imported sources mined from the ground.

PNNL is making waves in pursuit of a blue economy. Researchers are advancing science and technology to expand—and protect—the gifts of the sea.

Recognizing how innovation and clean technologies at the very edge of the grid can work together to transition the electricity system, PNNL takes a multidisciplinary approach to advancing and integrating renewable energy solutions.

Despite the challenges, the talented and dedicated staff at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory kept delivering for the nation.

For decades, the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has played a role in establishing and maintaining sustainable hydropower for the region.
