The Energy Systems Division conducts applied R&D to strengthen the economy, and enable energy independence, mobility, and national security.

The Energy Systems division pursues applied research and development to strengthen the economy, enable energy independence, mobility, and national security. The division conducts research, development, and demonstration from bench through development based on critical alliances/partnerships with industrial partners, universities, other national laboratories, and other Argonne divisions/directorates.

Argonne researchers have collaborated with several industry partners to develop a better hydrogen refueling method that can potentially save time and costs.
Feature Story

All the right moves

Transporting hydrogen from its production site to a refueling station and ultimately into the tank of a consumer’s fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) is something of a chess game.
Press Release

Balancing nuclear and renewable energy

Nuclear power plants typically run either at full capacity or not at all. Yet the plants have the technical ability to adjust to the changing demand for power and thus better accommodate sources of renewable energy such as wind or solar power.
Feature Story

Closing the loop on battery recycling

A novel model developed at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory allows industry, the Department and others to gauge the impact of recycling batteries in electric vehicles. It could further energize this market.
