Green Chemistry
Chemistry has always had a central role in the provision of food and energy, materials and medicines. Recent years have increasingly seen chemistry research move towards environmentally friendly, sustainable products and processes.
This collection page was originally created for the 2018 Gordon Research Conference on Green chemistry where the focus was the development of sustainable means for the provision of food, energy and water.

Green Chemistry covers a vast number of topics. Some of these topics are covered in more detail in other Springer-Nature collections.
Examples of these include:
The catalysis of CO2 conversion is a research topic ripe with potential to contribute towards a net-zero future. This Focus is dedicated to progressing the fundamental science and practical implementation of this technology to advance climate goals.
Sustainable chemistry aims to improve the efficiency with which natural resources are used for chemical products. This can include identifying areas to reduce energy use, using more environmentally benign chemicals and managing the end-of-life of materials.
