Harnessing the carbon-storage capacity of peatlands by investigating a series of organic supplements that can release phenolic compounds and test whether these can suppress greenhouse gas release.
For the UK to reach its ambitious target of storing 170 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year by 2050, it will need to look beyond the current well-studied geographical areas.
BGS has undertaken a comprehensive understanding of the data ecosystem in which we operate, providing a detailed assessment of our current operating models and the options for our target operating model over the next 10 years.
The only way the UK can reach its target of net zero emissions by 2050 is by taking a better look below the surface, say experts from BGS and geologists from across the UK.
Regulations require monitoring before starting operations at a CO2 storage site.
Mapping the engineering geological characteristics, mineralogy, industrial applications, geological hazard potential, physical properties and behaviour of geological formations.
BGS has produced 1:1 million-scale engineering geological maps of the UK, attributed with ‘engineering geological units’ in place of the traditional lithostratigraphical units.
We offers a variety of services and products for the general public, including reports, geological maps in digital and printed versions, books, posters and guides, and mobile applications, available online and in our on-site shops.
