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 gathered researchers from eight national laboratories plus the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to share ideas and build synergy at the Energy Equity and Environmental Justice Summit.
PNNL’s fall Pathways to Excellence award ceremony celebrated nearly 50 staff for their contributions across science, engineering, operations, and STEM education.
Scientists at PNNL are working to better prepare authorities, emergency responders, communities and the grid in the face of increasingly extreme hurricanes.
Some rocks can potentially convert injected carbon dioxide into more stable solid minerals. A new review article explores what scientists know about the atom-by-atom process.
Hydrologist Fernando Miralles-Wilhelm will lead the Joint Global Change Research Institute as its director, looking to the future of integrated assessments.
Better representing electric capacity markets, economic retirements, and power-plant age structure provides a more robust understanding of the future evolution of the electric sector.
