The next Science & Technology meeting will be on Tuesday 22nd April at the British Legion starting at 2.30pm when Royce Lowis will be talking about carbon capture. Royce has provided the following brief of the talk.
"Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a critical climate solution that involves capturing CO2 emissions from industrial processes and power plants, then transporting and storing them underground or repurposing them for other uses."
There will be a £2 charge for room hire.
