UK government must clarify if fracking ban includes proppant squeeze method, sparking local and environmental pushback.
Scarborough Council is urging the UK government to clarify whether its planned permanent fracking ban will cover proppant squeeze, a method used by Europa Oil & Gas in a pending application near Burniston.
While the government says the technique falls outside the current moratorium due to lower risks, over 1,500 locals and groups like Friends of the Earth oppose it, arguing it is still hydraulic fracturing.
Local officials and environmental advocates are pushing for a comprehensive ban, warning of a potential loophole, but the government has not confirmed if all hydraulic fracturing methods will be included.
