The study found that the way a fire burns (in open air versus in an oven in a controlled lab setting) can greatly change the leftover materials (char or charcoal) and how they interact in the environment.
PNNL and collaborators developed new models—recently approved by the U.S. Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC)—to help utilities understand how new grid-forming inverter technology will enhance grid stability.
Capstone engineering projects deliver equipment to improve accuracy of chemistry lab elutions and enhance training to safeguard critical infrastructure.
The Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy acting assistant secretary makes his first visit to a national laboratory in his new role, touring PNNL's Radiochemical Processing Laboratory.
At the second Grid Resilience to Extreme Events Summit, a diverse range of experts gathered to tackle the biggest challenges in building a resilient grid.
Tennessee State University received Department of Energy funding to establish an academy focused on preparing students and professionals to work in an emerging field: clean energy systems. PNNL is helping with that effort and others.
Researchers used a combination of sophisticated laboratory incubations and field measurements to determine the role of microbial production and consumption of methane in soils with different exposure to tidal inundation
