Short summary

BGE, the implementer of Germany’s site selection procedure, recently outlined an alternative exploration approach. This contribution aims to detail and discuss it, based on BGR’s experience regarding the exploration of the subsurface. It focuses on geoscientific aspects and elaborates on the two main requirements to this approach, namely acceptance by the scientific community and capability to account for the specific characteristics of the host rock types while (still) ensuring comparability.
