Chemistry accelerates the transition to affordable and clean energy by driving innovations in renewable technologies, energy storage, sustainable fuels, and advanced materials. Discover impactful research highlighting chemistry’s role in doing so.
ACS Publications is elevating chemistry research to drive progress toward the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through special curated article Showcases, hosted by Kudos. These Showcases simplify and share scientific breakthroughs, making the global impact of chemistry more visible and accessible.
Chemistry is central to achieving SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy. It powers innovation across renewable energy technologies, from perovskite-based solar cells and low-emission biofuels to green hydrogen production and advanced battery systems. Catalysts refine fuel cell performance, while nanomaterials improve energy efficiency and durability. These advances not only reduce emissions but also make clean energy more accessible and reliable across the globe.
This Showcase highlights articles related to affordable and clean energy, exploring the ongoing efforts and strategic approaches aimed at addressing global energy demands. It features key initiatives designed to enhance the efficiency and accessibility of clean, sustainable energy sources.
