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-developed catalytic process and catalyst to upgrade ethanol to sustainable aviation fuel wins American Chemical Society award.

As wildfires grow increasingly severe, PNNL researchers are working to slow their spread and mitigate their harmful effects.

High-performance imaging provides a cornerstone for innovation at the Energy Sciences Center opening at PNNL.

A comprehensive literature review linking algae and antivirals determines compounds in algae may demonstrate an exceptional—and as yet untapped—potential to combat viral diseases at every point along the viral infection pathway.

A new report led by PNNL identifies the top 13 most promising waste- and biomass-derived diesel blendstocks for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, other pollutants, and overall system costs.

Using existing fish processing plants, kelp and fish waste can be converted to a diesel-like fuel to power generators or fishing boats in remote, coastal Alaska.

U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm virtually visits PNNL, one of several national lab visits she is conducting.

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

A new report outlines future research paths that are needed for airlines to reduce carbon emissions and notes that the only way to achieve emission reduction goals is with Sustainable Aviation Fuels.

PNNL scientists have developed a catalyst that converts ethanol into C5+ ketones that can serve as the building blocks for everything from solvents to jet fuel.

Like a toxic Trojan horse, microplastics can act as hot pockets of contaminant transport. But, can microplastics get into plant cells? Recent research shows that they can't.

PNNL researchers are contributing expertise and hydrothermal liquefaction technology to a project that intercepts harmful algal blooms from water, treats the water, and concentrates algae for transformation to biocrude.

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.

In a new review, PNNL researchers outline how to convert stranded biomass to sustainable fuel using electrochemical reduction reactions in mini-refineries powered by renewable energy.

PNNL's Analytical Chemistry Lab supported at least 50 projects last year, housing 25 instruments that perform eight different types of analyses.

PNNL atomic-scale research shows how certain metal oxide catalysts behave during alkanol dehydration, an important class of oxygen-removal reactions for biomass conversion.

PNNL is managing the Data Archive and Portal, which provides the wind research community with secure, timely, easy, and open access to all data brought in from research under DOE’s Atmosphere to Electrons program.

PNNL and the U.S. Forest Service used a combination of data, models, analytical techniques and software to evaluate forest restoration impacts on the environment, while also assessing the economics of resulting biomass.

A chemical engineer by day at PNNL, Dan Howe is an ardent home brewer by night. The connection resulted in production of biocrude oil from brewery waste.
