Policy changes in power, energy, buildings, and more could help slow global temperature rise, according to a new report with co-authors from PNNL’s Joint Global Change Research Institute.
Researchers from PNNL have been assessing installation and use of electric heat pumps in an Alaskan community that relies on fuel oil for heat. The resulting information could advance electrification in cold rural areas across the nation.
In 2006, battery research was practically non-existent at PNNL. Today, the lab is lauded for its battery research. How did PNNL go from a new player to a leader in state-of-the-art storage for EVs and the grid?
Published in Nature Communications, Increased Asian Aerosols Drive a Slowdown of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, identifies the role aerosols over Asia is having on the AMOC, a complex system of currents in the Atlantic Ocean.
PNNL’s Chris Chini has been named a guest editor of Environmental Research: Infrastructure and Sustainability’s special issue examining energy infrastructure vulnerabilities from physical and natural threats.
A 19-person, multi-institutional national laboratory team received the inaugural Gordon Bell Prize for Climate Modeling from the Association for Computing Machinery for their work on more accurately modeling deep convective clouds.
A team of researchers received an award for their contributions to improving the operational readiness and safety posture of the firefighter community by conducting a rigorous evaluation of commercially available equipment.
Battery energy storage systems are being proposed in municipalities across the U.S. PNNL researchers can help community planners guide safe siting and operations.
PNNL’s Andrea Mengual co-chaired a working group that produced Building Performance Standards: A Technical Resource Guide. PNNL’s Kim Cheslak, Bing Liu, and Jian Zhang contributed to the effort.
