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.
Researchers developed two solutions for air-conditioning—a novel, energy-efficient dehumidification system and a technology to detect refrigerant leaks. Both help increase energy-efficiency and reduce costs.
Many of us are looking forward to next month's Apple Cup as the Cougars and Huskies battle for regional pigskin pride. At PNNL, however, we strive to bring these gridiron competitors together to collaborate on research and development.
Thanksgiving is a time for us to reflect on our many blessings, and being a part of the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is one for which I am especially grateful.
As a Department of Energy national laboratory, you would expect Pacific Northwest National Laboratory to perform research in chemistry, physics and engineering in support of our energy, environmental and security missions.
As Tri-Citians, we're fortunate that we don't have the frustrating traffic and long commutes that our friends in Seattle and Portland endure. And with lower prices at the pump, we don't think much about fuel efficiency.
