2021 marks the largest cohort of PNNL authors and co-authors to be recognized at annual Waste Management Symposia for environmental management research.

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.

Researchers developed two solutions for air-conditioning—a novel, energy-efficient dehumidification system and a technology to detect refrigerant leaks. Both help increase energy-efficiency and reduce costs.

New study elucidates the complex relaxation kinetics of supercooled water using a pulsed laser heating technique at previously inaccessible temperatures.

PNNL’s Robert Howard named national technical director of DOE Integrated Waste Management program, brings proficiency in technical integration.

PNNL bioenergy expert Justin Billing has contributed expertise to a newer standard designed to ensure the safety, performance, and sustainability of prefabricated fecal sludge treatment units.

Researchers have increased the lifetime of a promising electric vehicle battery to a record level.

Stanford-bound aspiring scientist gained valuable national laboratory research experiences through the Community College Internship program at PNNL.

PNNL is lending analytics expertise to a new first-of-its-kind electric-vehicle carsharing program being launched in Hood River, Oregon.

PNNL’s infrared pulsed heating technique reveals supercooled water’s weird behavior; opens door to other fluid studies at new Energy Sciences Center.

Analytical chemist shares passion for STEM, innovation and nuclear fuel

Spent nuclear fuel is being recycled to make new fuel through rapid separation and tight control of uranium and plutonium.

A webapp developed by PNNL in collaboration with the University of Washington to help drive efficiencies for urban delivery drivers is now in the prototype stage and ready for testing.

A collaboration among PNNL, Washington State University, and Tsinghua University has led to the discovery of a mechanism behind the decline in performance of an advanced copper-based catalyst.

A PNNL article on developments in ceramics and glass for sustainable energy also highlights research staff—and earns a journal cover.

Three unused, 48,000-pound stainless steel canisters arrived at PNNL, bringing the chance to deepen research in spent nuclear fuel storage and transportation.

A PNNL modeling study shows the impact of a hyperloop transportation system on the power grid.

A research effort under the PNNL-led Battery500 Consortium solved a longtime debate surrounding a structure in lithium-metal battery anodes.

Methane emissions from coal mines are likely higher than previously calculated, largely due to emissions from abandoned mines.

Through two U.S. Department of Energy funding calls awarded in 2020, PNNL is partnering with industry and academia to advance battery materials and processes.
