We recently welcomed Timothy Walsh, the assistant secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management (EM) and Ray Geimer, the manager for DOE’s Hanford Site Field Office, to PNNL.

With roots in the Manhattan Project and Hanford Site, PNNL has supported the EM mission for nearly 60 years. Our expertise and innovations are helping to shape cleanup at Hanford and across the nation.

During the visit, PNNL researchers demonstrated our expertise, innovation, and operational support in glass and grout waste forms as well as soil and groundwater remediation. PNNL also showcased our leadership in artificial intelligence and energy resiliency.

Last week, we partnered with CleanTech Alliance to bring the 13th annual CleanTech Innovation Showcase to the PNNL campus.

The event drew PNNL researchers, state agencies, and industry together to discuss subsurface energy, grid and energy, innovation, and technology transfer.

We shared how PNNL is using science-based solutions, technology, and deployment to help transform subsurface resources into future energy and economic opportunities.

How do humans benefit from biotechnology?

It's in the bread you eat. 🍞

The dirty clothes you wash. 👚

The antibiotics you take. 💊

Scientists believe microorganisms have even bigger potential to impact technology, ranging from converting waste into fuel to capturing critical minerals for batteries, electronics, and manufacturing.

We were privileged to host Katie Jereza, the assistant secretary for the Office of Electricity, U.S. Department of Energy, for a visit highlighting PNNL’s research supporting a reliable, affordable, and secure electric grid.⚡

Our work focuses on advancing next-generation grid energy storage technologies and materials and supporting industry by testing and validating battery systems at the Grid Storage Launchpad. We’re also using AI to research grid control mechanisms inside the real-life control room environment of the Electricity Infrastructure Operations Center. Both facilities are funded by the Office of Electricity.

We are proud to take on the toughest challenges presented by grid modernization. By effectively integrating distributed energy resources and loads, we aim to provide flexibility that can help meet the rising demand for electricity, lower cost, and improve resiliency of the electricity system.
