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.
PNNL conducts AVSEC research and training for multiple U.S. government sponsors. This research covers historical threat materials, methods of attack, and emerging threats due to advances in technology.
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.
The Center for Understanding Subsurface Signals and Permeability (CUSSP) Energy Earthshot Research Center (EERC) is working to develop the ability to predict and control fluid flow through fracture networks in enhanced geothermal systems.
PNNL’s pioneering CETC project with regional universities demonstrates transactive controls among multiple commercial buildings and devices for energy efficiency and grid reliability.
PNNL is helping communities with significant historical ties to fossil energy understand opportunities and pursue numerous federal resources available to support coal power plant redevelopment.
The Computational and Theoretical Chemistry Institute (CTCI) aspires to establish a premier international center for chemistry and materials science software at extreme scales.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is partnering with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to develop and operate the Control Environment Laboratory Resource
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 developing open-source, equitable, standardized methods to quantify the environmental impacts of building system technologies and reduce barriers for the industry to participate in data-driven sustainability practices.
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.
E4D is a 3D geophysical modeling and inversion program designed for subsurface imaging and monitoring using static and time-lapse electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), spectral induced polarization (SIP) and travel-time tomography data.
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.
PNNL and collaborators have established a national heat pump and heat pump water heater partnership to help drive adoption of these energy-saving technologies in both residential and commercial buildings.
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.
