Question 1

How does it work with the reverse burden of proof if earthquakes occur?

Corine Toussaint · Accepted Answer

All studies show that the probability of earthquakes is negligible. The licensing procedure for gas extraction is according to the strictest safety and environmental requirements. Studies show that, in the non-realistic case of an earthquake, there is no impact on inhabited habitats. The reverse burden of proof is specifically laid down for Groningen, but does not apply to other extraction areas.
