Whether for biological production of hydrogen or solar conversion of light to electricity, electrons are arguably the most basic currency of energy transformation. NREL’s Advanced Spin Resonance Facility has electronic paramagnetic resonance spectrometers that peer into the mysteries of an organism at the electron level. Researchers can probe subatomic, electronic, and magnetic properties of biological chemical materials relevant to catalysis, energy transfer, and conversion. Learn more about how this facility is advancing applied R&D of systems for generating sustainable low-carbon fuels, chemicals, and electricity: https://bit.ly/3RBNsiR

Massive public and private investments are being made to support the buildout of EV charging #infrastructure in the United States, but efficient planning and deployment require sophisticated analysis to ensure convenient, reliable, affordable, and equitable #charging for all Americans. Enter NREL’s EVI-X modeling suite, the most sophisticated and comprehensive set of integrated EV charging infrastructure analysis tools available today. The EVI-X suite has the unparalleled ability to answer the most complex questions addressing every aspect of #EV charging—from network planning and site design to financial analysis—for every vehicle weight class—from sedans and SUVs to delivery vans, buses, and freight trucks—and at wide-ranging geographic scales—from a small town to the entire nation.

Great news! A study by NREL and Sharply Focused LLC finds that severe weather—like tropical storms and tornadoes—doesn’t have broad impacts on renewable generation reliability. But it may impact reliability in other ways. What else do we need to consider to ensure grid reliability? Check out the key findings from this research: https://bit.ly/3z8NN6r

To meet decarbonization goals, aviation has 25 short years to overhaul how it creates, stores, and uses energy. According to Doug Arent, NREL’s executive director of strategic public-private partnerships, meeting that rigorous timeline requires speed only possible through trusting relationships across industry and government. Read NREL’s latest executive blog for Doug’s take on provocative discussions at the 2024 Sustainable Aviation Energy Conference and why it matters for #SustainableAviationFuel, #electric and #hydrogen #aircraft, #airport planning and infrastructure, and more.
