PNNL evaluates bacterial, fungi, and algae strains as part of a four-step process to streamline and standardize biomanufacturing processing.

PNNL is leading the nation with research addressing urgent needs for reimagining U.S. critical infrastructure against the realities of software-speed attacks and hazards.

Cyber, physical, and blended cyber-physical threats are real, ubiquitous, and expensive to deal with. Private companies, government institutions, and critical infrastructures struggle to implement viable solutions as technology evolves.

PNNL provides tools and expertise to bring faster, cost-effective catalysts to industry that can be produced at a large scale.

PNNL is contributing analytics expertise to a first-of-its-kind electric vehicle carsharing program in rural Hood River, Oregon.

PNNL and their collaborators are investigating combinations of fuels to boost vehicle efficiency, performance, and affordability.

The Computational and Theoretical Chemistry Institute (CTCI) aspires to establish a premier international center for chemistry and materials science software at extreme scales.

Cyber networks are constantly under attack by bugs, bots, and nefarious actors. While system owners acutely understand the need to secure their networks, they’re not always sure of the best actions to take.

PNNL is leading an effort to reveal the potential of algae for biofuels to replace conventional fuels for transportation.

In January 2024, CESER—in partnership with GDO, NASEO, and PNNL—created a set of state energy security cohorts to support the coordination and technical development of state energy security planning, assessment, and mitigation.

A multi-institution research team led by PNNL is addressing curb usage management challenges in large urban areas by developing a city-scale dynamic curb use simulation tool and an open-source curb management platform. 

PNNL is a leader in the integration of aberration-corrected electron microscopy, in-situ techniques, and atom probe tomography to address challenges in nuclear materials, environmental remediation, energy storage, and national security.

By improving the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF)-Solar model, this project aims to reduce forecast errors, improve sub-grid scale variability estimates, and more accurately estimate forecast uncertainty.

The Institute for Integrated Catalysis (IIC) at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory explores and develops the chemistry and technology of catalyzed processes that enable a carbon-neutral future.

PNNL administers two research buoys for the U.S. Department of Energy that allows collection of wind meteorological and oceanographic data off the nation's coasts.

PNNL is leading a consortium that provides funding opportunities to the automotive industry for accelerating new lightweight technologies in on-highway vehicles.
