While S4CE partners will present their results and findings, external speakers from other H2020 projects, industries, and regulatory bodies will give their insight on clean energy in sub-surface operations.

We will engage the public on carbon capture and storage, energy production and environmental & societal impact through panel discussions, and with a social lunch.

S4CE Forum is organised in collaboration with the Geological Society in the heart of London. The venue provides a good forum to discuss and disseminate research findings to various audiences be they the interested public, industry or academia.
