Session 6F - Discussion Panel - Public Perception and Acceptance of CCS; Lessons from Practical Experience

Public opposition to carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) has been identified as a potential barrier for technology deployment. Public perceptions of CCS are influenced by several factors including the extent to which it is considered an emerging technology and/or an option for addressing climate change. Although the technical components of CCS have been used for many years by the oil and gas industries, CCS is often portrayed as a new technology with many uncertainties and risks. Common concerns that arise from locals include: Will it leak? What might it do to my water? What will it do to the value of my house? Who will take responsibility if there is a leak?  Although it is almost universally considered an important option for addressing climate change, it is often portrayed as a temporary fix and that it may even forestall the development of renewable energy while promoting the continued use of fossil energy. Such concerns often give rise to local opposition to a project. Panellists in this session will share their recent experiences associated with deploying CCS projects in local communities, reflect on the issues that arose, and make suggestions for future projects to address these issues. Considerations will include the role of governments in communicating the role and need for CCS projects as well as issues surrounding the implication of local versus global benefits.
