Clean hydrogen energy infrastructure is coming to the Pacific Northwest with a newly announced hydrogen hub, and PNNL experts are advising the work to come.

Plastic upcycling efficiently converts plastics to valuable commodity chemicals while using less of the precious metal ruthenium. The method could recycle waste plastic pollution into useful products, helping keep it out of landfills.

Carbon-neutral waste-to-fuel flow cell process generates its own energy.

A PNNL study has shown the nation’s wastewater resource recovery facilities could generate revenue by converting sludge into biofuel—while significantly reducing disposal costs—using an in-house-developed technology.

A research team is exploring the safety and feasibility of clean hydrogen to replace some fossil fuel in medium- and heavy-duty vehicles and maritime uses at the Port of Seattle.

Fundamental research conducted at the $90-million research facility will help the nation meet its clean energy goals.

PNNL licensed two technologies to generate hydrogen. One, a reactor design, generates hydrogen from natural gas. The second innovation uses a 3D printing method to economically manufacture the generator.

Critical mineral extraction technology to be commercialized with business partner, Moselle Technologies.

A demonstration converting biocrude to renewable diesel fuel has passed a significant test, operating for more than 2,000 hours continuously without losing effectiveness.

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories have joined forces to reduce costs and improve the reliability of hydrogen fueling stations.

PNNL receives additional funding for electrocatalyst research to store and release energy.

80 years after the Hindenburg disaster, it still influences perceptions about the use of hydrogen as a vehicle fuel, but hydrogen, like gasoline, can be handled and used safely.

PNNL is collaborating with three small businesses to address technical challenges concerning hydrogen for fuel cell cars, bio-coal and nanomaterial manufacturing.

Using a natural catalyst from bacteria for inspiration, researchers have now reported the fastest synthetic catalysts to date for hydrogen production-- producing 45 million hydrogen molecules per second.
