In a new paper, researchers point to three major efforts where the biggest climate mitigation gains stand to be realized: ramping up carbon dioxide removal, reigning in non-carbon dioxide emissions and halting deforestation.
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.
PNNL receives a 2023 Federal Laboratory Consortium Far West Regional Award for a technological innovation that could help make the U.S. a producer of critical minerals used in electronics and energy production.
Team brought experience in nuclear waste forms and regulatory policies to the Federally Funded Research and Development Center’s report, which was reviewed by a National Academies’ committee.
SAGE is a high-efficiency genome integration strategy for bacteria that makes the stable introduction of new traits simple for newly discovered microbes.
A PNNL innovation uses steam to recover heat from the high-temperature reactor effluent in the HTL process, substantially reducing the propensity for fouling and potentially reducing costs.
In new work, PNNL researchers find that 10 gigatons of carbon dioxide may need to be pulled from Earth's atmosphere and oceans annually to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees. A diverse suite of carbon dioxide removal methods will be key.
Report for the Oregon Public Utility Commission highlights innovations and best practices for resilience and utility planning could be helpful to other states as well.
