Reaching net-zero carbon emissions goals requires finding transformative paths to manage carbon in difficult-to-electrify economic sectors.

A new look at a carbon capture solvent shows clusters and new types of carbon dioxide chemistry that could double carbon conversion.

As the world races to discover solutions for reaching net zero carbon emissions, a PNNL analysis quantifies the economic value of the existing nuclear power fleet and its carbon-free energy contributions.

Physicist Emily Mace will share her science journey and an interactive presentation about her current research with middle school and high school students from across the country at the National Science Bowl.

New PNNL research makes it easier to differentiate between chemical and nuclear explosions.

Iron-based fertilizer may stimulate plankton to pull carbon dioxide from the ocean, driving a carbon-negative process.

Some rocks can potentially convert injected carbon dioxide into more stable solid minerals. A new review article explores what scientists know about the atom-by-atom process.

This PNNL-developed separation system quickly and successfully separates larger particles from smaller ones at various scales, in different solid-liquid mixtures and at different flow rates.

Members of a geothermal energy collaboration go deep—real deep—to install a first-of-its kind system for evaluating interactions among water and rock.

A team led by researchers at PNNL demonstrated a new way to monitor deep subsurface fractures.

The newly created ICON Science Cooperative is a resource enabling an innovative approach to science to generate transferable knowledge and increase equity.

Johannes Lercher, Battelle Fellow and director of the PNNL Institute for Integrated Catalysis, envisions energy storage solutions at the new Energy Sciences Center.

At PNNL, women in engineering tackle some of the world’s most complex problems in environmental science, sustainable energy, and national security.

PNNL provided ultra-low measurements of argon-39 to date groundwater as part of a collaborative study of the aquifer in California’s San Joaquin Valley. PNNL is one of only a few laboratories worldwide with this capability.

Machine learning techniques are accelerating the development of stronger alloys for power plants, which will yield efficiency, cost, and decarbonization benefits.

U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm virtually visits PNNL, one of several national lab visits she is conducting.

High school students from across Washington State competed in the Pacific Northwest Regional Science Bowl, hosted online by PNNL, for a chance to advance to the national competition in May.

A team of researchers from 10 national laboratories and eight universities is conducting hydraulic shearing tests to explore the potential for geothermal energy at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF).

PNNL teamed with academia and industry to develop a novel zero-emission methane pyrolysis process that produces both hydrogen and high-value carbon solids suitable for an array of manufacturing applications.

A research team from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory developed an apparatus that evaluates the performance of high-temperature fluids in hydraulic fracturing for enhanced geothermal systems.
