Abstract

Summary

The main ambitions of FracRisk are to form a knowledge base and formulate scientific recommendations which will contribute to efforts aimed at minimizing the environmental footprint of shale gas extraction, while addressing public concerns. The objectives of FracRisk are to develop a knowledge base for understanding, preventing and mitigating the potential impact of the exploration and exploitation through hydraulic fracturing (fracking) of significant shale gas reserves found throughout Europe, and to develop a decision support tool for risk quantification of the environmental impacts of the technology. The aim is to provide key scientific-based yet practical recommendations aimed at minimizing the environmental footprint of shale gas extraction through effective planning and regulation, and also to address public concerns.
