PNNL researchers are studying catalysts that are key to dealing with waste and producing sustainable energy.

PNNL has received 119 R&D 100 Awards since 1969, when the laboratory began submitting entries in the contest that recognizes top 100 inventions each year.

PNNL has paired one of its offshore wind research buoys with its ThermalTracker-3D technology to correlate avian activity with ocean and weather conditions off the California coast.

Gutiérrez and his collaborators aim to lower the energy cost of converting plastics into fuels and lubricants.

PNNL’s new Hydrogen Energy Storage Evaluation Tool allows users to examine multiple energy delivery pathways and grid applications to maximize benefits.

PNNL’s Data Archive and Portal that stores and disseminates wind energy data recently reached a major milestone: 1,000 users and growing.

PNNL ocean engineer Alicia Gorton has been invited to serve a three-year term as editor of the Marine Technology Society Journal.

Study says planners need to account for climate impacts on renewable energy during capacity development planning to fully understand investment implications to the power sector.

A new study projects that electricity demand tied to cooling U.S. buildings will grow as peak temperatures rise, and so too would the need for an expanded power sector.

New facility will accelerate energy storage innovation, increase clean energy adoption and grid resilience.

PNNL teamed with academia and industry to develop a novel zero-emission methane pyrolysis process that produces both hydrogen and high-value carbon solids suitable for an array of manufacturing applications.

New facility that will accelerate energy storage innovation and make the nation’s power grid more resilient, secure and flexible has been given the green light to proceed by the U.S. Department of Energy.

PNNL led a multi-institutional effort to design a highly active and more durable catalyst made from cobalt, which sets the foundation for fuel cells to power transportation, stationary and backup power, and more.

A special issue of the Marine Technology Society Journal, titled “Utilizing Offshore Resources for Renewable Energy Development,” focuses on research and development efforts including those at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL).

PNNL researchers say that offshore wind energy can add value to the electric grid, beyond just the power it can produce, if locations and strategies are optimized.

PNNL researchers evaluated the accuracy of their software system designed to track bird and bat behavior around remote offshore wind turbines.

PNNL deployed two research buoys in waters off the West Coast for the first time in deep water, supporting a DOE and Bureau of Ocean Energy Management effort to gather measurements that support offshore wind locations and technologies.

Sharon Hammes-Schiffer, deputy director of the Center for Molecular Electrocatalysis (CME), has received awards from both the Royal Society of Chemistry and the American Chemical Society.

PNNL scientists are learning how to harness wind to secure a brighter, cleaner energy future.

PNNL ocean engineer Alicia Gorton was invited to serve on the advisory board of the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Ocean Engineering at the Stevens Institute of Technology.
