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

PNNL is working with national laboratories and academia to provide electric vehicle manufacturers with batteries that are more reliable, high-performing, safe, and less expensive.

FEMP's operations and maintenance (O&M) resources offer federal agencies technology- and management-focused guidance to improve energy and water efficiency and ensure safer and more reliable operations.

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

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

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

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’s integrated software systems (FRAMES, MEPAS, MetView, APGEMS, CAPP) allow users to assess the environmental fate and transport of contaminants—and the potential impacts on humans and the environment—in a systematic, holistic approach.

From global issues such as melting permafrost and the creation of alternate biofuels to matters affecting microbiomes and micro-sized life, PNNL research is featured in news publications worldwide.

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 is laying the groundwork for advancing energy equity and environmental justice through research to develop an innovative energy system that benefits everyone

PNNL partners with agencies and industry to identify and engage historically disadvantaged populations in regulatory decision-making, environmental assessment, and impact estimation of the consequences of complex polices and projects.

Scientific and technological advancements to safely and permanently store CO2

The HydroPASSAGE project addresses hydropower challenges, which include efforts to improve environmental performance of hydropower.

HydroWIRES initiative helps water stakeholders reap the full benefit of hydropower’s superpower: versatility

The Interfacial Dynamics in Radioactive Environments and Materials (IDREAM) Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) conducts fundamental science to support innovations in retrieving and processing high-level radioactive waste.

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.

PNNL is one of five national laboratory JCESR -- a bold effort to transform the way we store energy to power vehicles and the electric grid.
