A new method to convert waste plastic to fuel and raw materials promises to help close the carbon cycle at mild temperature and with high yield.

PNNL scientists carve a path to profit from carbon capture by creating a system that efficiently captures CO2 and converts it into one of the world’s most widely used chemicals: methanol.

A new discovery simultaneously reduces the need for rare and expensive platinum and improves its ability to speed up economically important chemical reactions.

Plastic upcycling efficiently converts plastics to valuable commodity chemicals while using less of the precious metal ruthenium. The method could recycle waste plastic pollution into useful products, helping keep it out of landfills.

The Washington State Academy of Sciences added six people from PNNL to its 2022 class of inductees.
