Shale gas is seen by many as a cheap, clean and plentiful source of energy; a low-carbon \u2018game changer\u2019 helping us meet the world\u2019s rapidly growing demands for energy and offering greater energy security. Its rapid rise has not been without controversy, however. Earth tremors, surface and groundwater contamination, and the effects of fracking on human and animal health are all high profile concerns.<\/p>\n

New professional learning resources have been produced around the area of Shale Gas and Fracking.<\/p>\n

Future Learn<\/strong> are running a four week course, Shale Gas and Fracking: the Politics and Science<\/strong>. You’ll be able to hear from all sides of the fracking debate with this free online course<\/a>. Understand what shale gas is and why it divides opinion.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Published in December 2014, Public engagement with shale gas and oil<\/strong> is\u00a0a report on findings from public dialogue workshops published on the UK government website.<\/a>\u00a0 This report summarises findings from a public dialogue which explored participant\u2019s views on how to engage the public on shale gas and oil and coal bed methane. The dialogue, which was co-funded by Sciencewise, was designed\u00a0to inform the Office of Unconventional Gas and Oil’s (OUGO) public engagement policy, inform industry’s development of a community\u00a0benefits package and help stakeholders (from government and industry) to develop appropriate plans for local engagement.<\/p>\n
