Researchers seek to bring down costs, address potential environmental risks and maximize the benefits of harnessing wind energy above the deep waters of the Pacific.

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.

COMPASS points to understanding nature’s transition zones—areas that can be dry land at times and under water at others.

Understanding the Earth as a complex, dynamic system includes investigating what happens on, above and below its surface.

PNNL scientists are learning how to harness wind to secure a brighter, cleaner energy future.

We all have heard our share of fish tales, but did you know that how fish hear can tell a story of their lives?

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