The French public against through the hydraulic fracturing development shale gas for security reasons, the French parliament in 2011 through the law forbids the use of hydraulic fracturing technology mining shale gas. In the new President omar lande on the stage, this policy will change, got the attention of people. On September fourteenth, Mr Lande in the annual environment conference announced that in his 5 years in office, France will still banned mining shale gas.
Mr Lande promulgated a ban on shale gas
Mr Lande said that as far as master, not sure yet mining shale gas need hydraulic fracturing technology will not cause serious danger to health and the environment. Therefore, he asked she immediately rejected the existing seven in the French territory mining shale gas application. Mr Lande also said, five years he will adhere to this position unchanged.
According to the international energy agency statistics, France and Poland is the European shale gas reserves largest country. However, for security reasons, France in 2011 through a law that banned the use of hydraulic fracturing technology mining shale gas, and become the world's only a legislative ban mining shale gas country.
Media analysis, Mr Lande are statement banned mining shale gas, refuse any discussion, is from the government by internal green party people and public opinion of the double pressure. "Le monde newspaper in the environment before the meeting to be a public opinion poll, 74% of respondents opposed to mining shale gas. Consolidate ruling coalition, strive for the public opinion support are Mr Lande in the current popularity of falling adverse circumstances need to cause an enough value content.
Shale gas mainly exist in the rock formation in a page, ingredients to methane is given priority to, of unconventional natural gas, is a clean, efficient energy. French oil companies have been looking for lift the ban this technology, get shale gas mining license. The French oil industry federation President bush lance base has said, at least in the French territory first do a shale gas mining experiment, so as to determine whether there are dangerous.
In recent weeks, the French government also revealed that shale gas mining restart signs of discussion. Prime minister ai luo, when being interviewed by the media once said: "the debate about shale gas is not over." Production the minister monte Boolean also said: "want to study the problem." French media reported before "the French government decided to restart shale gas development."
Reports say, according to informed sources, the government may have held recently in the energy conference announced, the establishment of a special committee, the shale gas development and utilization of supervision. The French environment and the department of energy has not the matter for formal response. But Mr Lande statement thoroughly smash the shale gas supporters fantasy.
Shale gas prospects difficult material
As said earlier, Mr Lande for shale gas said "no" is mainly for public opinion of the consideration, for shale gas in France in the public image of poor indeed. The French NGO environment action of early September, according to a poll for the future energy supply structure, 82% of French support for renewable energy, 13% support nuclear power, only 3% support shale gas.
The United States shale gas myth and can't get copy in Europe, on the contrary, shale gas mining in Europe met a lot of resistance. France is a more typical example, of course, in other countries shale gas development also not too smooth: Germany on energy policy again-every, at present the main energy supply is still wind power and coal, natural gas is mainly rely on import, the local northwest shale gas development progress will be slow; Britain also is so, there are only a few conservatives think the shale gas revolution will occur in the UK; Sweden although has rich shale gas reserves, but no large-scale development intention; Norway due to oil is rich in resources, mining shale gas enthusiasm is not high also.
In addition, the European shale gas development of political game factors account for larger proportion. Many European countries are subject to Russia's energy supply, and some countries have even is completely dependent on Russia's natural gas for the winter. But because of the high cost of mining result is not ideal, shale gas development of heat is gradually subsidise. Although can't rely on development shale gas from Russia's energy supply to rely on, but Europe is not had no choice. India and China are actively mining domestic shale oil and gas resources, Australia is increasing liquefied natural gas exports, NaXi project the future is expected to increase air demand, coupled with the liquefied natural gas exports to Europe may bring more hope. Besides, the European shale gas future have too much uncertainty, any country I'm afraid are not willing to ignore public opinion under such a didn't grasp the bet. From the current situation European shale gas prospect is not optimistic, but perhaps not mining is also a good choice.
