R&D World magazine yesterday presented the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) with four of its annual R&D 100 Awards for research innovations.

Including this year’s winners, NLR has received 80 R&D 100 Awards since 1982.

Given annually, the R&D 100 Awards honor the 100 most innovative technologies of the past year and are chosen by an independent panel of judges.

“This recognition is a testament to the exceptional talent and ingenuity of our researchers. Their breakthroughs are providing the innovative, scalable solutions our nation needs for the energy systems and infrastructure of tomorrow,” said Adam Bratis, NLR’s deputy laboratory director for Science and Technology and chief research officer. “These R&D 100 Awards support what we have always believed: NLR is not just envisioning the future of American energy—our people are actively building it.”
