Two new publications provide emergency response agencies with critical insights into commercially available unmanned ground vehicles used for hazardous materials response.
PDX, PNNL, and Sandia National Laboratories are exploring the feasibility of hydrogen fuel for the PDX bus fleet—an idea that could have novel benefits for hazard resilience.
A team from PNNL contributed several articles to the Domestic Preparedness Journal showcasing recent efforts to explore the emergency management and artificial intelligence research and development landscape.
After 20 years of contributions to the field of hydrogen safety, the Hydrogen Safety Panel launched its new mentoring program at PNNL earlier this year. Now, the program has selected its first two mentees.
At the National Homeland Security Conference, researchers shared how partnerships and emerging technologies like artificial intelligence can play a key role in emergency management preparedness and response.
PNNL advisors joined a panel of Washington State emergency management personnel to discuss how partnerships with national laboratories are enabling science and technology solutions.
Researchers from PNNL have been assessing installation and use of electric heat pumps in an Alaskan community that relies on fuel oil for heat. The resulting information could advance electrification in cold rural areas across the nation.
The SHASTA program is doing a deep dive on subsurface hydrogen storage in underground caverns, helping to lay the foundation for a robust hydrogen economy.
Identifying how curvature affects the doping and hydrogen binding energies of carbon-based materials provides a framework for designing hydrogen storage materials.
At the GovAI Summit 2023, Ryan Eddy joined the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate on a panel highlighting artificial intelligence impacts and opportunities in the field of emergency management.
Now in its twentieth year, the Hydrogen Safety Panel is led by PNNL and includes more than two dozen experts. These experts developed a trusted resource for best practices for hydrogen energy.
A team of researchers received an award for their contributions to improving the operational readiness and safety posture of the firefighter community by conducting a rigorous evaluation of commercially available equipment.
Mandy Mahoney, director of the DOE Building Technologies Office, visited PNNL in late November. One key agenda item involved meeting with staff for a discussion of effective equity and justice integration in buildings-related research.
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.
PNNL is at the midpoint of a study focused on the installation of electric heat pump water heaters in New Orleans homes. The efficient water heaters offer a unique capability that could help speed the transition from fossil fuels.
