About the Organisation

European Gas Research Group (GERG) is a non-profit association, promoting collaborative research to cement and realise the role of gas infrastructure in the energy transition. Today, the association counts over 30 members from European countries: gas operators, research organisations, and universities, for whom it provides a forum for discussion, technological exchange, and information dissemination. GERG R&D projects focus on four strategic areas: hydrogen, biomethane, methane emissions, and carbon capture and storage. The projects are initiated by the members or answer a demand from the European Commission.
