PNNL chemical engineer Mariefel Olarte shares passion for mentoring students and the next-generation workforce.

PNNL teamed up with multiple agencies to install a battery energy storage system at a South Dakota Air Force base.

Francesca Pierobon holds a joint appointment with UW and WSU to advance low-carbon technologies.

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.

Recycling polyolefin materials is challenging. One waste management strategy is plastic upcycling. New work demonstrates a single-step upcycling route coupling cracking and alkylation, recycling carbon and keeping valuable resources active.

PNNL’s patented Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion (ShAPE™) technique is an advanced manufacturing technology that enables better-performing materials and components while offering opportunities to reduce costs and energy consumption.

Americans produce enough waste every year to replace up to a quarter of the country’s jet fuel with sustainable alternatives, new research shows.

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

An initiative from Washington State University and Snohomish County leaders is aiming to make Paine Field a nexus for testing and improving sustainable aviation fuels made from non-petroleum materials.

This is the first time a flow battery with 24-hour discharge capacity will be deployed and tested in a field environment.

Corinne Fuller has been named the new co-director of the Bioproducts Institute, a research collaboration between Washington State University and PNNL, as of July 2023.
