Activists in the EU’s greenest country are poised for battle as Total prepares to begin shale gas exploration<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

By Sophie Yeo<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The fight against fracking is about to get underway in Denmark, as French oil company Total prepares to explore for shale gas in the country for the first time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A rig is expected to arrive near the northern town of Frederikshavn next month.<\/p>\n

Drillers will test the shale rock lying four kilometres below the surface for gas. If the volume is large enough, then Total plans<\/a> to use hydraulic fracturing \u2013 or fracking \u2013 to extract it.<\/p>\n

So far, even in environmentally conscious Denmark, opposition to the industry has been muted. But activists are unwilling to take the latest developments lying down.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to make it visible for ordinary people,\u201d said Tarjei Haaland, a climate and energy expert at Greenpeace Denmark, who told RTCC that the group was launching an anti-fracking campaign next week.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have had other priorities until now and it\u2019s time to start this more broadly. The government is not discussing it broadly in the public and it\u2019s only the people directly involved who understand what\u2019s going on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Europe’s greenest country?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fracking involves injecting a cocktail of water, sand and chemicals into the ground at high pressure in order to fracture the rocks and release the trapped gas.<\/p>\n

Total was granted licenses in 2010 to explore for shale gas in two regions of Denmark \u2013 including the area north of Copenhagen \u2013 but this will be the first time that they have broken ground.<\/p>\n

The technology has been widely used in the US, but has been slow to take off in Europe, in part due to environmental concerns. Scientific studies suggest that the process could cause earth tremors and pollute groundwater. There are also concerns that burning gas will accelerate climate change.<\/p>\n

Denmark is often cited as one of the world\u2019s greenest countries, with an ambitious target to phase out fossil fuels by 2050.<\/p>\n

Activists are therefore opposed to introducing another form of fossil fuel into the country\u2019s energy mix, attacking a \u201cschizophrenic\u201d attitude by politicians towards climate policy.<\/p>\n

\u201cDenmark has a very strong climate change commitment, but the argument is also that we can\u2019t leave gold in the ground. It\u2019s a very strange logic,\u201d said Mattias Soderberg, a senior advisor at Act Alliance Denmark.<\/p>\n

Report:<\/strong>\u00a0UK government pledges to consult scientists on fracking<\/a><\/p>\n

Many of Denmark\u2019s European neighbours have imposed a fracking moratorium on environmental grounds, including France, Germany, Romania and Bulgaria.<\/p>\n

Poland and the UK, on the other hand, are keen to exploit their shale gas reserves.<\/p>\n

Denmark\u2019s centre-left government tried to align itself with the former group in 2012, when it also imposed a ban on fracking.<\/p>\n

But the two licenses granted by the previous government remain valid, unlike in France, which cancelled licenses granted to Total and Schuepbach.<\/p>\n

The central government retains some control over the role of fracking in Denmark\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

If the exploratory drilling reveals the presence of gas in commercially viable volumes, Total will have to submit another environmental impact assessment and gain another permit from the government in order to go ahead with fracking.<\/p>\n

Denmark is due an election by September at the latest. Opinion polls predict a swing to the right, which would bring to power a more frack-friendly set of politicians.<\/p>\n

Greenpeace\u2019s Haaland told RTCC that their campaign will centre on providing more information on the dangers of fracking, in an effort to turn people against the technology across the whole political spectrum.<\/p>\n

Cold feet<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the town of Frederikshavn itself, campaigners are taking a more direct approach.<\/p>\n

For 184 days, locals have set up camp near the site where the drilling is to take place in an ongoing protest against what they perceive as a threat to their local community.<\/p>\n

Aage Olsen, who has set up base on the camp, told RTCC that he had endured sub-zero temperatures and watched as a storm blew away his tent in order to keep fracking from his town.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a demonstration every day. We walk to the site and sing some protest songs. When we have done that, we go back to the camp and get a cup of coffee and have some breakfast,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s cold for the feet. I have socks, but today it was minus 6 degrees, so it takes a lot of socks. Even people who work for them say it is special that we keep going. They expected after two weeks it would go away but we are still here.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are five people at the camp permanently, with the majority of the original 50 occupants returning to more solid dwellings for the winter. But Olsen said they were visited by new people every day.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a very, very long process. It\u2019s not easy to keep the spirit up when nothing happens, but I think when they are bringing in the rig people will come.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are people around who are working for ideas to make it difficult for them to bring the rig.\u201d<\/p>\n

Markets<\/strong><\/p>\n

Others in Denmark are less vehemently opposed.<\/p>\n

One of the arguments in favour of shale gas is that it could replace other, dirtier fossil fuels such as coal, which still supplies around a third of Denmark\u2019s electricity.<\/p>\n

“If you want to limit greenhouse gases you should tax them. You can\u2019t regulate it through the production of fossil fuels locally,\u201d said Otto Br\u00f8ns-Petersen, head of research at the Center for Political Studies, a Danish think-tank.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cProbably with the present price of oil, it wouldn\u2019t be economically feasible to extract gas from Denmark, but we don\u2019t know. It might be cheap, and then we should do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The time required to move from exploration to production means that the site would not start delivering gas until 2020 \u2013 the year when the UN is set to bring in a climate change deal that could drive a shift in the world\u2019s energy mix.<\/p>\n

The process is even less advanced around Copenhagen, but Haaland predicts that fracking companies would not be well received if they decided to descend in the back garden of Denmark\u2019s politicians.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI\u2019m sure if they do something there, there will one hell of an outcry.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEWS: Activists in the EU’s greenest country are
