A science action plan to help steer the South African shale gas industry will be considered at a national shale gas conference to be hosted by the Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf), in partnership with the Department of Science and Technology, in Port Elizabeth, later this week. The conference follows the publication, in October 2016, of the ASSAf report on South Africa’s technical readiness to support the shale gas industry.
