PNNL scientists carve a path to profit from carbon capture by creating a system that efficiently captures CO2 and converts it into one of the world’s most widely used chemicals: methanol.

Extreme winter storms are growing wetter and changing shape in the Western United States—such changes could compromise infrastructure designed to withstand only so much water.

PNNL’s contributions over the last year span scientific discovery, sustainable energy and national security.

Data-driven experiments can help determine best practices for Random Forest machine learning to predict water quality, particularly nitrate levels.

The world's current climate pledges won't limit global warming to 1.5 °C. We will overshoot. A new study shows that more ambitious climate pledges could minimize the overshoot.

PNNL joint appointee Auroop Ganguly uses data science to study the impacts of climate change.

A new deep learning approach allows researchers to rapidly analyze three-dimensional representations of multi-component catalysts.

Using electrocatalysis offers a different path for reactions involving polar groups.

Where molybdenum dopants sit within catalytic material affects catalysis at a mechanistic level.

A new discovery simultaneously reduces the need for rare and expensive platinum and improves its ability to speed up economically important chemical reactions.

Scientists at PNNL are working to better prepare authorities, emergency responders, communities and the grid in the face of increasingly extreme hurricanes.

A new study shows for the first time that wildfires burning in West Coast states can, despite great distance, strengthen storms in downwind states.

Climate change sets the stage for hurricanes to rapidly intensify faster, bringing wetter storms to the U.S. Atlantic Coast and other coastlines.

Across the United States, water moving between the river and riverbed sediments does not overcome localized processes that govern organic matter chemistry.

A PNNL research team has been recognized by the American Chemical Society with its Award for Affordable Green Chemistry.

From landfills to fill-ups: novel catalysts may make plastic upcycling cleaner and more cost-effective.

The American Chemical Society Richland Section has been recognized by its national organization with the Best Overall Section Minority Affairs award for 2022.

Wendy Shaw begins an initial two-year appointment to the editorial advisory board of Sustainable Energy & Fuels.

We are pleased to welcome 20 new joint appointees to PNNL.

Researchers isolated a molecular copper hydride monomer for the first time.
