All-Energy 2018

This year's All-Energy conference, the largest clean energy gathering in the UK, features two sessions on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). The first will explore the role of CCS in Scottish and UK climate action and provides updates on projects under development in Scotland. The second will consider how cutting-edge research is helping to meet the challenges of delivering CCS in the UK and further afield.

All-Energy is free to attend and refreshments will be provided by SCCS during the short networking break between sessions. Register now.
