One of the most important challenges of the 21st century is the issue of sustainable, clean and affordable future energy provision. Contemporary societies are faced with needs for urgent transformations in the sector of energy production and use, by using complex ways to provide ecologically acceptable energy. At present, the renewable energy sources are treated as the ecologically acceptable solution, which provides opportunities as well as challenges for sustainable energy future. Regardless of ―greenness‖ renewables come in many shades. Majority of the world‘s energy is still obtained by ecologically unacceptable energy sources. In those processes beyond carbon dioxide (CO2) which causes the global warming, even more dangerous is carbon monoxide (CO), the gas that is released during the incomplete fuel combustion. Furthermore, surface ozone is just one of the many more problems that are connected with energy generation and use. As the global demand for energy continues to grow there is need for more efficient methods of production, storage and utilization of energy based on cleaner, more sustainable methods for the synthesis of chemicals and materials, as well as use of new technologies and methodologies. That includes the investigation of the properties and behavior of materials for batteries, supercapacitors and photovoltaics. Batteries are becoming important part in the alternative energy systems. Such, lithium-ion batteries have higher energy density. The redox-flow batteries have the large energy capacity, and they can discharge rapidly. Metal-air batteries offer even higher energy densities than lithium-ion batteries. To achieve progress, those working in battery research will need to connect more solid-state chemistry and electrochemistry. "Green chemistry" enables and accelerates the next phase of the energy transition by improving the recycling and recovery of waste, by using biological components as feedstock for biofuels and chemicals, by reducing industrial process emissions through green and circular chemicals and fuels, and by carbon capture technologies. Furthermore, the design of new nanoscale catalysts for fuel cells and sustainable chemical synthesis, which coupled with surface science studies of their functions are opportunities for substantial gains in energy efficiency. The one of the most important challenges that Chemistry has to tackle today is the need for secure energy supplies and limiting society's reliance on non-sustainable fossil-fuel derived feedstocks. In large, Energy and Sustainable Chemistry are interrelated by many subjects such as Catalysis, Synthesis, Kinetics, Dynamics and Mechanism, Advanced Materials and Interfaces, Innovative Measurement and Photon Science, and Theory and Modelling of Complex Systems.
