Patented microchannel heat-exchange technology enables the production of hydrogen from methane, the main ingredient of natural gas, while producing 30 percent less carbon dioxide than conventional processes.
In new work, PNNL researchers find that 10 gigatons of carbon dioxide may need to be pulled from Earth's atmosphere and oceans annually to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees. A diverse suite of carbon dioxide removal methods will be key.
A PNNL-developed computational framework accurately predicts the thermomechanical history and microstructure evolution of materials designed using solid phase processing, allowing scientists to custom design metals with desired properties.
PNNL is working with the Port of Seattle and Seattle City Light to assess the risks of long-term hydrogen storage that can bring clean power for decarbonization.
Report for the Oregon Public Utility Commission highlights innovations and best practices for resilience and utility planning could be helpful to other states as well.
Extreme winter storms are growing wetter and changing shape in the Western United States—such changes could compromise infrastructure designed to withstand only so much water.
Research published in Journal of Manufacturing Processes demonstrates innovative single-step method to manufacture oxide dispersion strengthened copper materials from powder.
A PNNL team developed and used a model framework to understand the performance and structural reliability of a state-of-the-art solid oxide electrolysis cell design.
The world's current climate pledges won't limit global warming to 1.5 °C. We will overshoot. A new study shows that more ambitious climate pledges could minimize the overshoot.
PNNL gathered researchers from eight national laboratories plus the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to share ideas and build synergy at the Energy Equity and Environmental Justice Summit.
