Challenge the practice is addressing: ISL (in situ leaching) requires hydraulic fracturing, which has known risks: Triggering of seismic events, selection and use of large amounts of chemicals, disposal of large amounts of wastewater, large number of drilling sites, potentially high methane emissions, etc.
Concrete practice to achieve the expected goal: There are 'good practice' national policies introduced in various countries regarding hydraulic fracturing Most foresee a total ban or a temporary moratorium. Of the countries studied, only Australia has done something to counteract the negative impacts by enacting a ban on BTEX (Benzol, Toluol, Ethylbenzol and Xylole).
Expected impact/goal of the practice: Lower risks associated with hydraulic fracturing through different policies. The goal of BIOMOre is to allow ISL.
