DOE Honors Fuels and Engines R&D Leadership
PNNL’s Dan Gaspar and John Holladay were part of the Co-Optima leadership team honored by DOE’s Vehicle Technologies Office. The award recognized groundbreaking work to synergistically improve fuels and engines to maximize fuel economy.
The Uncertainties Around Algae for Biofuel
Researchers at PNNL have developed a model that predicts outcomes from the algae hydrothermal liquefaction process in a way that mirrors commercial reality much more closely than previous analyses.
Hydrogen Safety Panel Selects First Two Mentees
After 20 years of contributions to the field of hydrogen safety, the Hydrogen Safety Panel launched its new mentoring program at PNNL earlier this year. Now, the program has selected its first two mentees.
How the Grid Storage Launchpad is Accelerating EV Research

Center for Molecular Electrocatalysis
PNNL is the lead institution for the Center for Molecular Electrocatalysis (CME), an EFRC that seeks to establish the fundamental principles needed for efficient interconversion of electrical energy and chemical bonds.
Boosting Biocrude: Gaining Twice the Fuel from Corn Waste
By combining two promising techniques, PNNL scientists have demonstrated a way to double the fuel that can be extracted from corn stover.
Different Aerosol Emission Sources Work Together to Drive the Slowdown of Atlantic Overturning Circulation
Models have identified a new source of anthropogenic emissions driving the observed weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.
Garbage Could Replace a Quarter of Petroleum-Based Jet Fuel Every Year
Americans produce enough waste every year to replace up to a quarter of the country’s jet fuel with sustainable alternatives, new research shows.
High Throughput Center
At PNNL’s High Throughput Center, robots handle routine and repetitive small-scale laboratory tasks to improve the researchers’ labor landscape—and productivity.
