Recent Geological Studies
and the
Energy Transition in Yorkshire
Indoor Meeting
Standedge Tunnel Visitor Centre, Canals and River Trust, Marsden
By Convened by (University of Leeds)
25th March 2023 10:30 GMT
The subsurface of Yorkshire can assist in providing a secure energy (heat) supply and contribute in the transition towards a lower carbon and more sustainable energy system. The YGS meeting in Marsden looks at the geological concepts involved and their applicability to rock formations in Yorkshire.
