DVGW Research and Innovation for a climate-neutral Future

With research and innovation, DVGW has been supporting the energy sector on its way to climate neutrality for many years. The aim is to use the potential of climate-neutral gases for the energy transition and to maintain the value of gas infrastructures over the long term. In this way, the climate targets and the legal requirements for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2045 can be achieved.

DVGW Energy Research

For a safe and climate-neutral energy supply

For over ten years, the DVGW has been promoting research on the role of gases in the energy transition. It is actively participating in national and European projects. Numerous research projects are currently investigating how climate-neutral gases and the existing gas infrastructure can help make the present energy system fit for the future, studying technical and economic as well as regulatory aspects.

At present, the DVGW runs two funding programmes for energy research: the DVGW Innovation Programme Hydrogen and one for Applied Gas Research. As part of the five-year Innovation Programme, the DVGW is now creating the basis for the future-proof and safe use of climate-neutral gases and, particularly, hydrogen. With an extensive funding budget, the DVGW supports the development of a hydrogen economy.

DVGW Institutions for Energy Research © DVGW

The DVGW’s gas research activities are organised in a decentralised fashion, distributed among a total of six institutions that combine scientific expertise and university partnerships with the gas industry’s practical experience. The individual institutes are complementary in their competences and form an integrated network that covers all aspects relating to gas and energy.

The six institutions are:
