Gas is one of the safest existing energy carriers. This can be ascribed - among other things - to the strictly applied safety standards that have been elaborated by the DVGW. Additionally, the DVGW promotes innovative projects - such as, for instance, the climate-friendly power-to-gas process that converts electricity generated from renewable energy sources into storable gas -, which support the safe and secure supply of gas in Germany. In the field of water, the DVGW works to ensure the sustainable and safe supply of the population with clean drinking water – an aspiration that is rooted in its holistic approach of considering the resource of water to form a loop instead of being a finite resource. Within this loop, the protection of the resource takes top priority. The DVGW strives to supply largely untreated drinking water that is free from nitrate, chemical residue and trace substances to every consumer at any time.
