Massachusetts H951 aims to eliminate hydraulic fracturing in the Commonwealth, except when used for enhanced geothermal systems.

Massachusetts H951 seeks to amend existing laws to prohibit hydraulic fracturing in the Commonwealth, except when it is part of an enhanced geothermal system for energy production. The bill defines hydraulic fracturing as the process of pumping fluid into or under the ground to create fractures in rock to produce or recover oil or gas. It also restricts the treatment or disposal of wastewater and byproducts from hydraulic fracturing, except those generated from enhanced geothermal systems.
