Understanding the Evolution of U.S. Energy, Water, and Agriculture Interconnections
Developing a new approach for defining energy-water-agriculture linkages highlights U.S. regions where focusing on individual sectors may miss cross-sectoral impacts.
Securing the Food Pipeline from Cyberattacks
PNNL researchers are investigating the cybersecurity vulnerabilities of an increasingly smart food and agriculture sector.
Nondestructive Evaluation of Advanced Manufacturing Components
Sharing advancements in nondestructive evaluation (NDE) for components used in the energy, infrastructure, and national security sectors.
Solar Energy
To make renewable resources viable and reliable sources of energy for the broad spectrum of American energy needs, PNNL works extensively in the field of solar energy. Projects focused on discoveries in thin film photovoltaics, thermal storage for concentrating solar power, and grid integration are ongoing as PNNL researchers look for more efficient technologies and methods to harness the power of the sun.
Vehicle Technologies
At Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, vehicle research is about more than how vehicles are powered—it’s also about how they’re made and used. The Lab’s vehicle technology research portfolio advances all types of vehicles—on-road, rail, maritime, aviation, and off-road—through a range of innovations, from helping manufacturers produce high-performance vehicle components using low-cost domestic materials, to optimizing the movement of goods and people around the nation, to effectively and reliably integrating vehicles with electricity and energy systems.
Assessing the Future of Global Energy-for-Water
Quantifying the future energy requirements of agricultural, industrial, and municipal water sector use.
