PNNL’s ESMI is a Laboratory-funded research and development (R&D) program focused on transforming and accelerating materials development processes for next-generation energy storage technologies.

Poorly insulated walls in residential buildings waste an estimated quadrillion+ Btus of energy per year. Upgrading windows and insulation during re-siding projects is a unique, cost-effective opportunity to improve efficiency and comfort.

UTEP and PNNL are advancing the collective scientific impact of both institutions through collaborations between PNNL researchers and UTEP faculty, as well as by building on the complementary strengths to grow a diverse STEM workforce.
