Fracking, does it have a future? | Chem Service | Greyhound Chromatography

The Future of Fracking

Fracking is an abbreviated phrase describing the process of hydraulic fracturing, which uses water and other chemicals to extract natural gas out of shale rock.

Although it has been proven as a successful method for energy extraction in the USA, questions have been raised with regards to the environmental impact on the surrounding areas for residents and conservationists due to the toxicity of the chemicals that are used in the fracking fluid.

One of our suppliers ChemService reported last month that more studies need undertaking on the chemicals that are used in fracking fluid, as there are many unknown quantities and some concentrations could have potentially adverse effects.

Here in the UK it’s very much a hot topic if we adopt these fracking processes ourselves, as numerous sites have been identified including Lancashire and at Barton Moss, bringing the issue close to home.

Manchester Science Festival 2014, which is currently underway until 2nd Nov are hosting a wealth of fabulous events celebrating all things science related in and around the Manchester area.

On Tuesday 28th October at the Museum of Science & Industry, Discuss, the home of the intellectually curious will be hosting a debate on Fracking and bringing all the issues to the table. On the panel will be Happy Mondays band member, and aspiring politician Bez alongside two professors from the university of Manchester on opposing sides of the debate as well as a leading Blackpool business woman.

One. To. Watch!
