MPs from the Energy and Climate Change Select Committee will be meeting at the University of Sheffield this month as part of a public evidence session to examine the potential benefits of carbon capture and storage (CCS).

Senior industry figures and specialists will be questioned by the Select Committee in this oral evidence session, which will focus on:

• Alternative ways of capturing carbon
• Safety, climate change and public perceptions about CCS

Evidence gathered at this event will inform the Committee’s current inquiry into carbon capture and storage.

The public session takes place on Thursday 23 January 2014, between 2pm and 4pm, in the Sheffield Select Committee Suite, ICOSS, University of Sheffield, 219 Portobello, Sheffield, S1 4DP.
