It has gathered impartial scientific evidence relating to environmental monitoring and risk mitigation that will guide subsurface geoenergy development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project has produced a set of best-practice recommendations for establishing environmental baseline conditions for unconventional hydrocarbon production and the geological storage of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2<\/sub>). This includes outputs addressing how to develop effective communication strategies with different stakeholder groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project has published its recommendations in a series of <a href=\"https:\/\/securegeoenergy.eu\/work-packages\/wp6-sharing-best-practice-and-knowledge\" class=\"broken_link\">nine factsheets<\/a>. Each recommendation is also underpinned by research and <a href=\"https:\/\/securegeoenergy.eu\/work-packages\/wp6-sharing-best-practice-and-knowledge\" class=\"broken_link\">technical reports<\/a>, with more than 41 published to date.
