The team reduced a major inefficiency in a process that uses electricity and a specialized catalyst in a solution combining nitrogen with hydrogen.

Hydropower plants produce energy using the elevation difference created by a dam or diversion structure. Water flows in one side and exits at a lower point, which spins a turbine that runs a generator. Learn six things about hydropower’s potential.

Meet Katie Duncan, whose love for #WWII history led to her role at NNSA as a uranium expert supporting our nuclear stockpile, from the upcoming Uranium Processing Facility to reestablishing depleted uranium manufacturing.

Floating offshore wind potential offers more than two times the energy equivalent of annual U.S. electricity consumption, even after accounting for relative technical suitability in support of responsible offshore wind energy deployment.

DOE Announces $1.6 million for a jointly funded project supporting the coexistence of offshore wind with bats on the West Coast.

An NREL study will outline a strategic network of U.S. West Coast ports and port infrastructure upgrades that could collaboratively unlock the potential of commercial-scale floating offshore wind energy technology deployment.

By developing a design toolset and reference designs for large-scale U.S. floating offshore wind farms, the Floating Offshore Wind Array Design project will inform design decisions and help ensure cost-efficient and responsible deployment.

The National Offshore Wind Research and Development Consortium (NOWRDC), which was established with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), has selected five new projects to receive a total of $3.5 million for ocean coexistence and transmission.

DOE’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) will conduct a literature review of West Coast offshore wind transmission research to date, covering potential interconnections along California, Oregon, and Washington coastlines.

Fusion physics pioneer and MIT climate change leader Anne White hopes to help save the world with nuclear.
