Tony Green and Mures Zarea
We're thrilled to announce that our Future of Energy Director Tony Green has been appointed as the President of The European Gas Research Group (GERG).
The announcement came at Tuesday night's European Gas Technology Conference 2024 (EGATEC 2024), where thought leaders from industry, universities and companies came together to exchange insights and opportunities on the gas industry’s energy transition.
GERG works with the European and global energy community to develop innovative solutions through collaborative R&D placing gas infrastructure at the heart of the transforming energy system, now and into the future.
Tony was previously GERG Vice President and is now succeeding Mures Zarea from French Utility Company Engie to become President.
In his new role Tony will lead GERG members to ensure that Europe’s energy transformation will keep Europe competitive and energy secure while providing the lowest cost road to a sustainable future.
Commenting on his appointment, Tony said: “In our pursuit of a just and sustainable energy transition, the challenges we face resonate across Europe. GERG is playing a leading role in this through close collaboration and shared learning, and I’m delighted to be representing the organisation through this critical period.”
GERG Secretary General Robert Judd said: “I am thrilled that Tony is stepping into this pivotal role, and to be working closely with him again. He already has a wealth of experience both in and outside GERG of driving collaboration across organisations and within Europe.
“Tony’s history of working in gas transmission and distribution within utilities and consultancy, will ensure he can effectively represent GERG members through the challenges of the energy transition.”
