2022 was Another Year of Scientific Innovations and Challenges: What did we learn?

Educating the Next Generation of Scientists and Engineers 

Impacting 1 Million Students with STEM in a Year: Battelle’s Blueprint 

• The United States is falling behind in STEM education for children to effectively enter the workforce. The next generation of scientists, engineers, doctors and more need these STEM skills to succeed. In the past year, Battelle reached 1.4 million students with valuable STEM programming in communities across the country. We are far from done. Read the full blog here.

Protecting Endangered Species and Wildlife from Pesticides 

What the Endangered Species Act Means for the Agrochemical and Crop Protection Sector 

• The United States Environmental Protection Agency has established a workplan to protect endangered species and wildlife from pesticides. As an industry leader in agrochemical formulation development, Battelle provides formulation development, risk assessment and regulatory support to help pesticide companies adjust  products to the new government demands. Read the full blog here.

A Solution to Forever Chemicals 

Timely Solutions to PFAS Contamination: Battelle Presented PFAS Remediation Technology to House Committee 

• Through years of internal research at Battelle, we’ve learned that the complete destruction of PFAS is not easy, but it is possible. Battelle’s Amy Dindal, Division Manager of Environment & Infrastructure, testified before a joint subcommittee hearing of the House Committee on Science, Space & Technology about PFAS and the development of remediation tools.

Developing a Deeper Understanding of Modern Vehicles  

CANprotect™ - Making Sense of Vehicle Signals  

• Modern vehicles produce a lot of signals, but they’re not always easy to capture or interpret. Battelle scientists have created a way lengthen the life of vehicles and protect them from cyber effects. Read the full blog here.

New Technology to be Developed for Use in the United States 

Battelle Team to Develop Bio-Based Rare Earth Elements Tech for DARPA

• To reduce supply chain vulnerability, the U.S. Department of Defense has interest in the development of environmentally friendly methods that enable rare earth element extraction to occur within the United States. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) launched the Environmental Microbes as a BioEngineering Resource (EMBER) program to develop novel, bio-based technologies for the separation, purification and conversion of rare earth elements into manufacturing-ready forms.

Carbon Storage is a Real Solution to Mitigation but Success Means Finding a Trusted Partner 

When it Comes to Carbon Storage, the Name Is the Game 

• While the technology for subsurface storage of CO2 has been amply demonstrated, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) as an industry is still new, and many project stakeholders are unfamiliar with the challenges associated with subsurface storage. When choosing who to partner with for CSS, experience, present capabilities, future stability and trust are essential for a successful project outcome. Read the full blog here.
