History of the DGMK
The beginnings of the DGMK go back to the year 1933.
We promote the research and development of advanced technologies for the exploration, production and storage of hydrocarbons. Our partners include renowned E&P companies, universities, and research institutes.
We offer the downstream industry in Germany a neutral platform for the exchange of information and experience, and promote research and development in the processing and application of mineral oil and its derivatives. Our network comprises partners from the industry, science, and government agencies.
Transportation, packaging, textiles, paints, electronics, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals are just a few examples of the wide range of products that are a natural part of our everyday lives, that would be impossible without petrochemical products. In cooperation with international partners, the Petrochemistry Division regularly organises conferences on topics at the interface between oil/natural gas processing and the chemical industry.
Modern life without carbon compounds is unimaginable. Today, plastics, medicines, cosmetics, clothing and paints are mostly based on petroleum products.
Climate protection remains the greatest challenge for the future in energy policy and is challenging German companies with ambitious targets.
