PNNL's accomplishments in FY 2024 help address the remaining challenges the wind industry faces.

New methodological approach demonstrates how to assess the economic value, including non-traditional value streams, of converting non-powered dams to hydroelectric facilities.

A PNNL study developed a water management module for Xanthos that distinguishes between the operational characteristics of hydropower, irrigation, and flood control reservoirs.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory launches the Training Outreach and Recruitment for Cybersecurity Hydropower program at the University of Texas at El Paso.

A new tool helps identify non-powered dams across the country that are top candidates for conversion to power-generating hydroelectric facilities.

Developed with community input, the new Hydropower Vision Roadmap lays out a path to achieve a shared vison for modern hydropower by 2050.

PNNL will lead support to one of six community teams chosen today by the U.S. Department of Energy to receive a total of up to $25 million.

DOE announced a new project, led by PNNL and National Renewable Energy Laboratory, to expand wind energy transmission off the nation’s West Coast.

New research simulates power demand, supply, and cost in a hotter, drier climate.

PNNL researchers have developed a new class of chemistry focused on carbon capture technology and made incremental strides in driving down costs.

Pacific Northwest marsh carbon stocks are twice the global average. Long-term sea-level rise impacts will likely decrease ecosystem carbon stocks.
