If dihydrogen (H) becomes a major part of the energy mix, massive storage in underground gas storage (UGS), such as in deep aquifers, will be needed. The development of H requires a growing share of H in natural gas (and its current infrastructure), which is expected to reach approximately 2% in Europe. The impact of H in aquifers is uncertain, mainly because its behavior is site dependent.

Introduction: Over recent years, a growing number of studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of alternative models to centre-based pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) such as tele-PR or home-based unsupervised PR, offering perspectives for improved accessibility and adherence. Other studies have demonstrated the relevance and long-term benefits of maintenance PR programs. However, they remain poorly implemented in real-life settings.
