Gas and energy transition

The transition to a climate-neutral economy can only succeed if we convert our energy system from fossil fuels to renewable and low-carbon sources.

Strategy for water supply

To ensure a lasting supply of clean drinking water of sufficient quantity and high quality for everyone in a protected environment, we need to start planning for the future today.

Technology and Innovation

The aim of DVGW research is to prepare the gas and water supply in Germany for the future.
