Nova Scotia ends fracking ban, opening onshore gas exploration with a $30M incentive program.
Nova Scotia is opening onshore natural gas exploration to private companies after lifting its decade-long fracking ban in March 2025.
A $30-million program, led by Dalhousie University, will evaluate proposals in early 2026, offering up to 100% cost reimbursement and potential equity stakes.
The province holds an estimated 198 billion cubic meters of onshore gas, including shale, with data to be made public by year-end.
An oversight committee including First Nations will guide the process, and non-productive wells may be repurposed for geothermal or carbon capture.
The move aims to boost economic growth and energy security while balancing environmental concerns.
