Photovoltaics for extreme conditions
Sandia researchers launch extensive renewable energy research above the Arctic Circle.
Photovoltaics researchers release five-year, early-life module degradation study
In the last decade, the cost of photovoltaic modules has declined by 85%. Sandia researchers take a closer look to determine whether these savings impact the modules' durability and reliability over time.
Making history in wind studies
Sandia’s SWiFT facility reopens with two heavily instrumented meteorological towers and three Vestas V27 wind turbines.
Burping bacteria: Identifying Arctic microbes that produce methane
Scientists from the Labs collaborate with university researchers to improve climate models by studying soil and gas samples.
Sandia soil scientist studies climate change impacts
In an interview with Umakant Mishra, he shares about his research on the terrestrial carbon cycle, ways Sandia can help address the climate crisis and advice for recruiting others to advance climate security.
Solar thermochemical process produces low-carbon ammonia
Sandia scientists explore making ammonia with little more than sun, air and hydrogen.
Improving hydrogen safety codes and standards
Sandia researcher earns a DOE award for his work that advances the safe deployment of hydrogen technologies.
Reinventing offshore wind turbines
Engineers at Sandia imagine a smaller, less expensive floating turbine and develop modeling software to set their idea in motion.
Leading from the front
Sandia New Mexico and California use enough electricity annually to power 40,000 houses for a year. An energy management team at the Labs introduces site sustainability initiatives that decrease electricity consumption.
Propelling wind energy innovation
A novel technology at Sandia, called Twistact, eliminates reliance on rare-earth magnets for large-scale wind turbines.
