PNNL has published a report that sets the foundation for modeling gaps and technical challenges in optimizing hydropower operations for both energy production and water management.

Like a toxic Trojan horse, microplastics can act as hot pockets of contaminant transport. But, can microplastics get into plant cells? Recent research shows that they can't.

PNNL has earned “Best Paper” at an international resilience conference for research on hydropower’s capabilities and constraints in the event of extreme events, like hurricanes and rolling blackouts.

The three-year project funded by DOE’s Basic Energy Sciences program will focus on using electrochemistry to capture ambient carbon dioxide.

A PNNL research team compared two types of pumped storage hydropower (open and closed loop) to identify potential environmental impacts.

Washington State University and PNNL are collaborating on cutting-edge bioproducts science, engineering, and analysis capabilities.

PNNL’s Karthikeyan Ramasamy was elected to a three-year term as a director in the American Institute of Chemical Engineers’ Fuels and Petrochemicals Division.

Pumped-storage hydropower offers the most cost-effective storage option for shifting large volumes of energy. A PNNL-led team wrote a report comparing cost and performance factors for 10 storage technologies.

Researchers at PNNL used key metrics to develop visualizations that show how the combined effects of climate change on hydropower and load influence the frequency, duration, and severity of power shortfalls.
