Who we are – What we do

German Version

The Division of "Chemistry & Energy was first established in March 2009 as a work association and then transferred to a full GDCh Division as of January 1, 2016. The Division currently consists of ca. 400 individuals interested in the topic of ‘chemistry & energy’. and addresses scientific and technical questions of how chemistry can contribute to our future energy supply. The Division pursues the following aims:

• To serve as a data and information hub regarding the chemistry & energy;
• To highlight energy-relevant activities in the GDCh;
• To organize the exchange of ideas with comparable technical and natural scientific work groups;
• To cultivate communication with further partners who deal with the topic of energy from other perspectives;
• To support GDCh publicity work in presenting what chemistry can do in the energy field in the forseeable future (e.g., in the organization of public workshops)
