Fracking has the potential to extract hydrocarbons from previously
inaccessible sources of gas and oil, but is regularly in the news
because of environmental concerns surrounding the process. First
used commercially in the mid-20th Century, only recently has
fracking been deployed on a large scale, revolutionising the energy
industry in the USA. As more nations seek to adopt or ban fracking,
do the economic benefits outweigh the environmental costs?
Presenting both sides of the debate, this latest volume of Issues
in Environmental Science and Technology draws on a wealth of
international expertise, ranging from the oil and gas industry to
Friends of the Earth. The technology of fracking is examined in
detail, as well as the associated economic, societal and global
climate change considerations. Anyone wishing to gain a balanced
view of hydraulic fracturing will benefit from reading this book,
which is aimed at researchers in academia and industry, policy
makers, environmental science students and the interested layman.
