Shale gas could help UK energy transition

摘要

Shale gas could be produced safely and usefully in the UK, and can help the country with the transition to a renewable economy, provided the strictest environmental standards are in place - this the conclusion of the Task Force on Shale Gas, representing businesses active in the shale gas industry, in the last of a series of reports. The report also concludes that exploration drilling should go ahead as soon as possible, in order to establish clearly how much gas is present and recoverable.
