The Scottish government has announced an "effective ban" on fracking.
Energy Minister Paul Wheelhouse told MSPs that the practice "cannot and will not take place in Scotland".
He said an existing moratorium on the technique, which has been in place since 2015, would continue "indefinitely" after a consultation showed "overwhelming" opposition.
