Science 4 Clean Energy video: No risk = No Energy

5 December 2019

Science 4 Clean Energy video: No risk = No Energy

is a research project financed by the European Commission and coordinated by Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ - Chemical Engineering and Earth Sciences Department, looking at the quantification and reduction of the environmental impacts of geo-energy operations. We are working on making clean energy safer. 

Our planet can efficiently supply humanity's energy needs. The sub-surface is a source of energy – it is hot and it contains many resources. With care, we can prevent environmental impacts and reduce the carbon footprint of our expanding society.

Geo-energy operations are essential to provide energy for our society to prosper.  above shows that S4CE is making clean energy safer through the quantification and reduction of the environmental impacts of geo-energy operations: geothermal energy, carbon capture and sequestration, shale gas and hydrocarbons.

We are developing tools and monitoring geo-energy operations, working on mitigating risks such as fugitive gas emissions, seismic activities and underground water contamination that can occur during geo-energy operations: No risk, No energy. 

We are developing recommendations, best practices and guidelines for policy makers and industries to implement it in their energy production activities. 

Our objective is to reach a clean energy production system with zero environmental nor societal impact.
