A British oil and gas company is suing the Slovenian government for making them do an environmental impact study before fracking near a water source.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a letter to the Slovenian government<\/a>, the company’s lawyers described the government’s actions as “arbitrary and unreasonable”. Environmentalists said it was the company whose behaviour was “outrageous”.<\/p>\n

Friends of the Earth Slovenia accused Ascent of endangering the country’s drinking water supply and urged the new Slovenian government not to bow to pressure.<\/p>\n

Paul de Clerck, economic justice coordinator for Friends of the Earth Europe, said: \u201cIt\u2019s a scandal that, amid a climate and environmental emergency, a country like Slovenia can be sued for doing the right thing, protecting its water and environment from destructive fracking.”<\/p>\n

London-based Ascent Resources is taking legal action using the UK-Slovenia bilateral investment treaty and the controversial multilateral Energy Charter Treaty (ECT),<\/a> which the UK and Slovenia have both signed up to.<\/p>\n

\n

Gas curse:<\/strong> Mozambique\u2019s multi-billion dollar gamble on LNG<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The ECT has previously been used by a German energy company to fight the Dutch governmen<\/a>t over coal phaseout plans and by a Swedish company to sue the German state over its policies against nuclear and coal power.<\/p>\n

In 2007, Ascent entered a joint venture with a state-owned Slovenian company called Geonergo to extract gas from Peti\u0161ovci in eastern Slovenia and sell it to Croatian company INA. It says it has since invested \u20ac50m (US$59m) in the project.<\/p>\n

In 2017, the company decided it needed to inject water underground to stimulate gas flow, known as fracking, and applied for government permission. Ascent’s lawyers say that they did not need to apply for this but Geonergo did so anyway “in an abundance of caution\u201d.<\/p>\n

In March 2019, the Slovenian Environment Agency (ARSO) ruled that the company must conduct an environmental impact assesment because the site is close to water sources.<\/p>\n

Ascent\u2019s lawyers said this decision went against expert opinions from several other government bodies and was \u201cmanifestly arbitrary and unreasonable\u201d. They add that the Minister of the Environment and Spatial Planning\u2019s public criticism of the company and leaks from ARSO to the press show that ARSO was \u201cbiased\u201d and its decision was \u201cpolitically motivated\u201d.<\/p>\n

Geonergo challenged ARSO\u2019s decision but, in May 2020, the Slovenian court ruled against the firms. In July, Ascent’s London lawyers told Slovenia they were taking legal action.<\/p>\n

Lidija \u017div\u010di\u010d, from Friends of the Earth Slovenia, told Climate Home News she feared the Slovenian government elected in March 2020 would reverse the previous government’s opposition to fracking.<\/p>\n

The previous government, led by Marjan \u0160arec, had been preparing a law which would ban fracking. It was voted out before the law could pass and, \u017div\u010di\u010d said, Janez Jan\u0161a’s new government seems much more in favour of fracking.<\/p>\n

If fracking went ahead in Peti\u0161ovci, \u017div\u010di\u010d said, the nearby sources of drinking water and thermal waters could be affected by the fracking chemicals. In other countries, poorly-built shallow fracking wells have injected<\/a> gas into underground freshwater aquifers.<\/p>\n

Fracking could also damage nearby ecosystems and would contribute to global climate change, \u017div\u010di\u010d said. The site is near the borders of Hungary and Croatia.<\/p>\n

Japan<\/strong> blocks green reform of major energy investment treaty<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Friends of the Earth has brought attention to the case at the same time as members of the ECT are negotiating ‘modernisation’ of the treaty, which dates from the early 1990s.<\/p>\n

The European Union wants to improve governments’ ‘right to regulate’ on climate change without facing legal action under ECT but nations like Japan and Kazakhstan are resisting reform<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Luxembourg’s energy minister has said his nation and others could leave the ECT if its environmental protections are not improved. Russia and Italy have already left the treaty after it was used to sue them.<\/p>\n

An Australian mining company called Prairie Mining also announced ECT legal action this week. It says the Polish government has unfairly damaged its coal mining prospects by not renewing one of its concessions and granting part of another to a rival firm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A British oil and gas company is using a controversial energy treaty to sue Slovenia, after being required to carry out an environmental impact
