Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is advancing transportation technologies that offer American manufacturers and consumers more choices with fewer compromises. PNNL researchers leverage innovation in a wide range of sectors to strengthen domestic transportation industries and ensure that people and goods can move safely, reliably, quickly, and affordably.

This work stretches across PNNL: biologists turning food grease into jet fuel; materials scientists pioneering next-generation manufacturing techniques for car parts; chemists developing powerful batteries based on plentiful resources; computational scientists leveraging AI to optimize traffic infrastructure; and much more.

From the factory floor to the skies, PNNL innovations are enabling transportation technologies that work better, cost less, and are made in the U.S.A.
