Scope and background

One of the most critical challenges for science and society is to meet the increasing demand for energy and consumables with concepts that will minimize the emission of green-house gases and other pollutants. Petroleum is the world-wide dominating source of energy and bulk chemicals, natural gas being the most environmentally favourable component.

Catalysis appears as the main key towards more cost-efficient and environmentally-friendly industrial processes and energy conversion. The scientific focus of inGAP is to create a platform for breakthrough innovation based on fundamental insight into key areas of catalyst technology.
