Our ambition with earth2<\/sub> is to bring together the European players involved in natural hydrogen and underground storage. Our aim is to accelerate the development of these two pillars of underground hydrogen, which are essential to the energy transition. We are convinced that the geosciences have an essential role to play in achieving Europe's targets by 2030. With the support of our members and the implementation of a structured roadmap, we aim to make earth2<\/sub> a European reference in these fields.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
