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 researchers are helping to better define the need for grid energy storage in future clean energy scenarios, as well as working to improve technologies for storing renewable energy so it's available when and where it's needed.

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.

PNNL’s new Energy Sciences Center has capabilities for scientists to advance solutions for storing clean hydrogen in chemical bonds.

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

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

Alaska's remote location and vast wilderness contribute both to its beauty and its challenges.

Discovery in action. These words describe what we do at PNNL. For more than 50 years, we have advanced the frontiers of science and engineering in the service of our nation and the the world.

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

Led by Battelle in collaboration with the Bonneville Power Administration, the Pacific Northwest Smart Grid Demonstration Project is the largest field test of smart grid systems to date.
