PNNL chemical engineer Mariefel Olarte shares passion for mentoring students and the next-generation workforce.

This project sought to assure that research activities centered around different sampling and monitoring efforts in northwest Ohio would not disturb any historical cultural resources.

Francesca Pierobon holds a joint appointment with UW and WSU to advance low-carbon technologies.

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.

PNNL’s Climate Network with MSIs and HBCUs aims to bring opportunities to diverse populations.

An initiative from Washington State University and Snohomish County leaders is aiming to make Paine Field a nexus for testing and improving sustainable aviation fuels made from non-petroleum materials.

This study demonstrated that a large-scale flooding experiment in coastal Maryland, USA, aiming to understand how freshwater and saltwater floods may alter soil biogeochemical cycles and vegetation in a deciduous coastal forest.

SAGE is a high-efficiency genome integration strategy for bacteria that makes the stable introduction of new traits simple for newly discovered microbes.

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 discovered a faster, more economical method to verify the amount of biofuel in mixtures of bio and fossil fuel.

Microbes that were previously frozen in soils are becoming more active. This study demonstrates the diverse RNA viral communities found in thawed permafrost.

Organismal contribution and community interaction drive soil organic matter breakdown by microbes.

Proteins from “auxiliary” genes in soil viruses play a role in the carbon cycle and climate, scientists have found.

A new study shows how organic molecules respond to global change varies according to functional traits and ecological processes.

A process developed at PNNL that converts biomass and waste into a chemical intermediate or into gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel is available for commercial licensing.

The Co-Optimization of Fuels & Engines initiative recently outlined six years of research in a findings and impact report.

Scientists from PNNL and the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Forest Services’ Pacific Northwest Research Station have partnered to evaluate potential climate and wildfire adaptation scenarios and resulting benefits from restoration forestry.

Soil transplant experiment gives new insights into coastal forest resilience, rising seas, and increasing storms.

ICON science is a Department of Energy-developed framework to enhance scientific outcomes via more intentional design of research efforts across all domains of science.

A novel ecological measurement uncovered interactions between river corridor organic matter assemblages and microbial communities, highlighting potentially important microbial taxa and molecular formula types.
