A new Co-Optima report describes an assessment of 400 biofuel-derived samples and identifies the top ten candidates for blending with petroleum fuel to improve boosted spark ignition engine efficiency.
CME investigators Daniel Martin (Yale) and Samantha Johnson (PNNL) received a team science award at the 2019 Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRC) Principal Investigators' Meeting in Washington, D.C. in July 2019.
Prof. Yogesh (Yogi) Surendranath of the Center for Molecular Electrocatalysis (CME) was honored with a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers.
Nitrogen oxides, also known as NOx, form when fossil fuels burn at high temperatures. When emitted from industrial sources such as coal power plants, these pollutants react with other compounds to produce harmful smog.
Researchers at PNNL have developed a model that predicts outcomes from the algae hydrothermal liquefaction process in a way that mirrors commercial reality much more closely than previous analyses.
A new data system—gcamdata—with its robust, clear, and easy-to-use application, was developed to be applied to a variety of Global Change Assessment Model scenarios.
