The H2-QUEST project represents a strategic leap in Europe’s energy independence. The primary mission is to advance natural hydrogen exploration methods to Technology Readiness Level TRL 5, providing the first comprehensive assessment of geological hydrogen resource potential across the continent.
To reach this milestone, the project focuses on three key pillars:
-
European Leadership: Strengthening the EU’s position in identifying and evaluating natural reserves to pave the way for sustainable industrial production.
-
Resource Mapping: Gaining a scientific understanding of natural hydrogen occurrences in Europe to define high-potential prospective areas for exploration.
-
Strategic Framework: Identifying critical enablers and barriers in regulation, social acceptability, market conditions, and financial incentives to stimulate investment in European member states.
