Tennessee State University received Department of Energy funding to establish an academy focused on preparing students and professionals to work in an emerging field: clean energy systems. PNNL is helping with that effort and others.

If you’re not sure whether rooftop solar panels and battery energy storage systems are right for you, start with this new guide from PNNL researchers.

Researchers at PNNL devised a new workflow for integrating life cycle analysis into building design, aided by a computational method that adapts existing software to net-zero energy, carbon-negative homes.

GUV can reduce transmission of airborne disease while reducing energy use and carbon emissions. But fulfilling that promise depends on having accurate and verifiable performance data.

The next-generation ShAPE machine has arrived at PNNL, where it will help prove the mettle of the ShAPE extrusion technique. ShAPE 2 is designed to allow researchers to produce larger, more complex extrusions.

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.

Students participating in the Public Infrastructure Security Cyber Education System program at the University of Montana recently discovered and appropriately escalated an anomaly that turned out to be a concern.

PNNL researchers are working to provide the technical assistance and expertise needed for communities to shape their clean energy future.

A new iron-based aqueous flow battery shows promise for grid energy storage applications.

Adom Cooper was selected for the inaugural cohort of the Black Professionals in International Affairs at the Colin Powell Leadership Institute.

PNNL helps deliver efficiency-related rules and requirements that steadily improve performance of America’s buildings, saving energy and costs and reducing carbon emissions.

Two PNNL professionals have been selected to join the 2024-26 New Voices cohort at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
