Voice for ocean-based climate solutions and strategist for PNNL’s Coastal Sciences Division, Simon Geerlofs, speaks about the Triton Initiative.

Using existing fish processing plants, kelp and fish waste can be converted to a diesel-like fuel to power generators or fishing boats in remote, coastal Alaska.

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.

Cailene Gunn discusses her work in science communication and how she communicates the Triton Initiative's research to help advance the marine energy industry.

PNNL’s energy-efficient dehumidifier may reduce energy consumption by up to 50% in residential A/C systems and increase the range of electric vehicles by up to 75%. The system has been licensed to Montana Technologies.

For World Oceans Month, Triton Stories highlights Coastal Science Division director Genevra Harker-Klimeš, who helped create the Triton Initiative.

Samantha Eaves discusses the future of marine energy and her role with Triton from the Department of Energy Water Power Technologies Office perspective.  

PNNL ocean engineer Alicia Gorton has been invited to serve a three-year term as editor of the Marine Technology Society Journal.

Seven teams win the U.S. Department of Energy's DESIGN Contest for wave-powered systems to monitor hurricanes—part of the Ocean Observing Prize. PNNL administers the prize with National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

A new study projects that electricity demand tied to cooling U.S. buildings will grow as peak temperatures rise, and so too would the need for an expanded power sector.

PNNL has published a cybersecurity guidance report for marine renewable energy devices to prepare the blue economy for harnessing ocean power from waves, tides, and currents.

Coastal Sciences Division group leader, Meg Pinza, helped build Triton into a thought leader in the field of marine energy environmental monitoring.

PNNL highlights four researchers whose joint appointments are creating new and diverse opportunities for expanding knowledge and scientific impact across institutions.

The U.S. Department of Energy has awarded funding to PNNL for the design and construction of a hybrid research vessel and an underwater testbed to be located at PNNL-Sequim.

Operations specialist, Sue Southard helps the Triton Initiative conduct marine energy field research safely.

PNNL provided expert analysis and technical background for some of the most ambitious building energy efficiency codes proposed for this year's International Energy Conservation Code updates.

Project manager Alicia Amerson brings the Triton Initiative’s research on environmental monitoring for marine energy applications to life.

Marine scientist Joe Haxel leads Triton Field Trials research studying methods to monitor underwater noise associated with marine energy systems.

The Marine and Coastal Research Laboratory (MCRL), part of PNNL, in Sequim, Washington, is the U.S. Department of Energy’s only marine research facility. It has a rich history and expanding research scope.

Washington and Oregon coastlines hold most promising areas to pull power from West Coast waves, according to a recent study on wave energy.
