PNNL scientists carve a path to profit from carbon capture by creating a system that efficiently captures CO2 and converts it into one of the world’s most widely used chemicals: methanol.

A collaborative effort led by PNNL researchers analyzed decarbonization pathways for Argentina, Chile, Egypt, Indonesia, and Nigeria.

The Joint Appointment program at PNNL is one of the most diverse among other U.S. national laboratories, involving nearly 60 universities and research institutions in the United States and abroad.

A review article led by researcher Jade Holliman explores the different classes of metamaterials, from the underlying fundamental science to potential applications.

A PNNL team developed and used a model framework to understand the performance and structural reliability of a state-of-the-art solid oxide electrolysis cell design.

A new project will produce a database of optimized conditions for efficient, carbon negative recovery of energy-relevant minerals in red mud waste.

PNNL gathered researchers from eight national laboratories plus the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to share ideas and build synergy at the Energy Equity and Environmental Justice Summit.

A review article examines a decade of work on the atom-scale process of turning carbon dioxide into stable minerals.

Some rocks can potentially convert injected carbon dioxide into more stable solid minerals. A new review article explores what scientists know about the atom-by-atom process.

A newly funded research project draws inspiration from nature to store carbon dioxide.

From landfills to fill-ups: novel catalysts may make plastic upcycling cleaner and more cost-effective.

Tim C. Johnson was awarded the Frank Frischknecht Leadership Award this spring at the 34th Symposium on the Application of Geophysics of Engineering and Environmental Problems held in Denver, Colorado. 

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.
