The 2024 State of the Science Report on environmental effects of marine renewable energy research has been released.

PNNL will engage with transmission planners and other regional partners through technical assistance and listening sessions with the goal of exploring opportunities to integrate equity into transmission planning.

Researchers are leveraging the ocean’s natural processes to advance approaches to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in the ocean.

PNNL electrical engineer Samrat Acharya led a team that earned the 2024 IEEE Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference Best Paper Award.

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

Developed with community input, the new Hydropower Vision Roadmap lays out a path to achieve a shared vison for modern hydropower by 2050.

PNNL-Sequim scientists will spend the next year testing a new technology that could allow the ocean to soak up more carbon dioxide without contributing to ocean acidification.

Algae can collect and concentrate rare earth metals from seawater—an alternative to imported sources mined from the ground.

ExaGO, a power grid simulation and optimization platform developed at PNNL is the first of its kind to run on Frontier.

PNNL is making waves in pursuit of a blue economy. Researchers are advancing science and technology to expand—and protect—the gifts of the sea.

New PNNL-developed nanogenerator harnesses the renewable energy in ocean waves to power sensors that provide critical weather and wave information.

PNNL researchers developed the dummy payload to evaluate the performance of marine energy device prototypes in the Powering the Blue Economy: Ocean Observing Prize Competition.

A new, simple, and efficient flow-based method allows researchers to pull a useful magnesium salt from natural seawater using easily available chemicals.

New report takes a comprehensive look at offshore aquaculture as a market for marine energy.

A new journal issue is dedicated to highlighting the Triton Initiative’s recent work advancing environmental monitoring of marine energy.

Program pairs PNNL experts with aspiring UW undergraduates who learn through doing on laboratory projects.

PNNL researchers developed a new model to help power system operators and planners better evaluate how grid-forming, inverter-based resources could affect the system stability.

Sue Southard's one thousand dives as a PNNL staff member leave a ripple effect on efforts to keep our ocean healthy, our economy thriving, and our waters safe.

A new PNNL study quantifies hydropower's contribution to grid stability. When other power sources go out, hydropower can ramp up, recoup shortfalls, and stabilize the grid nearly instantaneously.

Incorporating green infrastructure into flood protection plans alongside gray infrastructure can shield communities, reduce maintenance, and provide additional social and environmental benefits.
