Welcome to the 6th EAGE Global Energy Transition Conference & Exhibition (GET2025) in Rotterdam—a gathering of a global community that embodies resilience, innovation, and a shared commitment to sustainability. As Chair of this year’s conference, I am proud to bring together experts and pioneers from across disciplines to address the pressing questions of our energy transition.
This conference isn’t just about dialogue—it’s about direction. How do we balance immediate energy needs with long-term climate commitments? How do we scale up geothermal, carbon capture & storage, and energy storage—and harness the full potential of wind power through smarter integration? Our path forward is not defined by technology alone—it also requires the right policies, financial frameworks, and, above all, societal engagement and public trust to truly succeed. Together, we will explore not only what’s possible, but what’s essential for a just, secure, and sustainable energy future.
I invite you to connect, collaborate, and be inspired—because real progress happens when knowledge meets action. Let’s harness our insights, challenge our assumptions, and shape an energy system for generations to come. I’m honored to take this journey with you.

Executive Committee
A world as a better place for all is a mission that drives us to create a space where all professionals, geoscientists, and industry leaders can share their knowledge, accentuating the importance of sustainable energy sources and transitioning to low-carbon options.
As we strive to be a leading voice in this crucial transition from oil and gas to green energy solutions, we recognize that this would not be possible without our valued members. With their contributions, we will be connecting and sharing knowledge on key topics such as the use of innovative technologies, decarbonization, renewables, and energy efficiency in support of climate action. We will also emphasize the contributions of subsurface professionals and their essential role in shaping the future of energy.
Our program has been carefully curated with high-quality topics, speakers, and sessions highlighting multidisciplinary geoscience and engineering approaches. There will be an expanded programme with four sub-conferences covering Wind Energy, Hydrogen and Energy Storage, Geothermal Energy, and Carbon Capture & Storage – each providing insights into popular areas within the industry.
We aim to take this conference to the next level and make it a premier meeting space by expanding our program and incorporating strategic and regulatory sessions. Besides informing you about advancements in the field, we want to give industries an opportunity to reach a vibrant audience.
On behalf of the entire team, we welcome you to enjoy this information-packed experience. Together, we can build a movement towards more sustainable energy solutions for a healthier planet.
