The Dutch Energy Company One-Dyas May Start Drilling for Gas Near the German Wadden Island Borkum. A German Environmental Organization had objected to this.
The Competent German State of Lower Saxony Announced on Monday That One-Dyas Can Immediately Begin Gas Drilling Near The Wadden Island, Reports News Agency ANP . One-Dyas had Already Started a First Test Phase in March.
The German Environmental Organization Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH) had Filed An Objection. Concerns exist on the island that the drilling project could affect the ecology of the Island and the National Park. The Park is Part of the Wadden Sea, which is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site that Extends to the Coast of Denmark.
Lower Saxony Gives Several Reasons Why The State is Extding the Drilling Permit. This includes “The overriding public interest in A Secure Energy Supply.”
One-dyas has also leg at odds with nature organizations in Dutch Waters. At the end of June 2024, The Company Received the Green Light From the Council of State (RVS) for Gas Extraction about 20 kilometers Above Schiermonnikoog, While the Council had previously called one-dyes back Earlier this month. Greenpeace Then Lost a Summary Procedure.
