The first tidal turbine deployed in the Pacific Northwest at PNNL-Sequim showcases the Lab’s growing role as a regional center for marine energy research.
Recycling polyolefin materials is challenging. One waste management strategy is plastic upcycling. New work demonstrates a single-step upcycling route coupling cracking and alkylation, recycling carbon and keeping valuable resources active.
A PNNL innovation uses steam to recover heat from the high-temperature reactor effluent in the HTL process, substantially reducing the propensity for fouling and potentially reducing costs.
PNNL researchers developed the dummy payload to evaluate the performance of marine energy device prototypes in the Powering the Blue Economy: Ocean Observing Prize Competition.
The Triton Initative discusses special issue publications from the Triton Field Trials on environmental monitoring recommendations for marine energy applications.
This Triton Story discusses the many types of marine energy devices and the Triton Field Trials environmental monitoring research around wave, tidal, and riverine energy devices.
The Triton Initiative highlights different creative science communications, including photography, writing, and science art, and the impact they have on the project's marine energy research.
The Triton Initiative supports projects funded through U.S. Department of Energy funding opportunity announcements developing environmental monitoring technologies for marine energy.
