Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a tool that provides accurate measurements and positioning directions while installing energy-efficient panels over existing building exteriors. This method will decrease installation time and cost by more than 25%. One approach to upgrade aging buildings is to increase thermal performance and lower carbon emissions by fitting prefabricated […]
Natel Energy “Restoration Hydro” Improves Aquatic Biodiversity
One of the world’s biggest sources of renewable energy is hydropower, which generates around 16% of the global electricity supply. As the world looks to meet net-zero targets, hydropower is slated to play a key role in combating climate change. Just 37% of the world’s 246 longest rivers remain free-flowing — without any human-made dams, […]
Researchers Bring More Reliable Electricity to Puerto Rican Microgrids
Oak Ridge National Laboratory are partnering with local organizations, nonprofits and universities to build resilience into independent microgrids
