Media relations, digital and storytelling at @nrel. #TransformingEnergy, science, renewables, climate, environment. RT ≠ endorsement and opinions are my own.
Check out this @NPR interview with @NREL engineer Amy Robertson about #offshorewind#energy. This offers a quick look at the very real possibilities of transitioning to more #renewableenergy in the U.S. https://t.co/WmbOR7J4jo
.@NREL and partners sent plastic-degrading enzymes and bacteria to space! Their mission is to demonstrate plastic upcycling in low-Earth orbit, so we can learn how to #engineer better strains for use here on Earth. https://t.co/mPVRnLgZpE
The ChemCatBio consortium is entering a new phase of catalyst development with $30 million & three industrial partners, IBM, micromeritics, & Johnson Matthey. Learn what that could for mean developing low-carbon, bio-based chemicals, fuels and materials. https://t.co/YsiqXEXvkO
Our newly updated PRIMRE database houses decades of data on #MarineEnergy technologies, resources, and more. This free, publicly available database from @NREL, @PNNLab and @SandiaLabs can help speed up marine energy development.

My colleagues at @NREL, along with the team at @CUBoulder and WinBuild Inc., recently published a technical report proposing new methods to evaluate how long windows sustain their #energy performance. https://t.co/MXVK2A7I8R
DYK: @NREL is the definitive leader in private partnerships across the @ENERGY national laboratory system? NREL strives to create real impact and deliver resolution to the challenges of the energy crisis, leveraging #partnerships to do it. https://t.co/TS3uk1DMPx
What’s the difference between fossil fuels and NREL’s lignin-based sustainable aviation fuel? Hint—it’s not the molecular structure. Zia Abdullah, @NREL biomass laboratory program manager, shares the answer in his interview with @denverpost. https://t.co/x1jAtJ1enY
Vegetable oil? Check. Wood shavings? Yep! Animal manure?! You better believe it. Cool new research from @NREL, @Argonne, @PNNLab and @INL shows that 10 biofuels produced from organic material could replace petroleum. What are YOU putting in your gas tank? https://t.co/Q3mE5HHtrw
.@NREL has signed an agreement with the Energy Agency of #Lithuania for a multi-year study of 100% #renewableenergy for their country. Check out #LT100 https://t.co/9KC4TVt22B
Have you heard of #waveenergy converters (WEC)? How about the tool that can compare different WEC models? The small WEC analysis tool, created by @NREL #WaterPower researchers, can make determining what machine is best in certain environments much easier. https://t.co/GF3nDAI7O4
The Powering the Blue Economy initiative is tapping into the vast resources our oceans hold and helping us recognize the #energy needs of coastal communities. 🌎 Learn more about how it is helping build sustainable #MarineEnergy development! https://t.co/VoUKFsjF46
Just released! Our new Vehicle and Mobility Technologies 2022 Annual Impact Report details how @NREL researchers are mapping a transportation future that is decarbonized, affordable and equitable for all. Here’s where we are going. https://t.co/jIDPXXmjhp
Thanks to our @NREL mentors! It’s so cool to see the support some of my colleagues offer young scientists in the #renewableenergy field, since those interns are the #STEM workforce of the future. https://t.co/UcOVp2yiJU
Renewable #hydrogen and fuel may be derived from ammonia, offering alternatives to current hydrogen production. NREL colleague @DrNickSaysThis and partners highlight opportunities for scalable #ammonia reforming catalysts & reactors in @ChemicalScience. https://t.co/SvNQHbuWyp
Congrats to @UofOklahoma! The #Sooners Geothermal Team from the University of Oklahoma took first place for designing a system repurposing six abandoned oil and gas wells in Shawnee, Oklahoma, to provide clean, renewable #geothermalenergy. https://t.co/24lPGBUHJt
Competitions, partnerships and research and development are bringing coastal, maritime, and island communities closer and closer to harnessing the power of our oceans! Watch below to see how they are bolstering #MarineEnergy development right now. https://t.co/DYsqvSFUYr
In a new blog, meet researcher Kevin McCabe, the subprogram lead for #tribalenergy within @NREL State, Local, and Tribal Program (@NREL_Conduit). Learn about his career journey, how his heritage inspires his research, and hobbies away from the laboratory. https://t.co/9Eo37O2nd8
#JUMPintoSTEM is still going on! The competition is all about the future of buildings, and young scientists are putting their minds together to inspire real solutions for the #building industry. https://t.co/r0SKtqFDnk
