These may include making use of the Earth\u2019s subsurface \u2013 using methods such as harnessing geothermal energy, shale gas extraction, and carbon storage \u2013 in an environmentally sustainable way. This means we need to understand the impact of these technologies on the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) has confirmed \u00a331m to build the UK Geoenergy Observatories. Researchers will carry out scientific monitoring and observation to establish the state of the current environment and determine if these technologies have a significant effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UK Geoenergy Observatories will provide scientific \u2018test beds\u2019 in two geologically-different locations in the UK. Each site will comprise a network of deep and shallow boreholes, enabling geoscientists to undertake long-term observation of the subsurface for the first time and in unprecedented detail, delivering new information to interpret, model and monitor the environment from the surface down to 1,500m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A site in Cheshire is a potential location for monitoring and observation of shale gas extraction and carbon capture. The second location is intended to be in central Scotland and focus on geothermal energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The research will provide independent evidence to inform decision-making around the responsible management of geoenergy technologies in the UK. The data will be openly accessible to the academic community, Government, regulators, industry and the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commissioned by NERC, the new UK Geoenergy Observatories will be delivered and operated by the British Geological Survey (BGS). The project is a capital investment of the Government Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<blockquote id=\"quote-4976-block_5e627119711fa\" class=\"quote  \" >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"quote-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bgs.ac.uk\/wp-content\/themes\/bgs\/img\/quote-caption.svg\" alt=\"Speech marks icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"quote-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>NERC chief executive, Professor Duncan Wingham, said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNERC has an essential role in funding research to establish the facts on which sustainable energy policy can be based.
