Over the past decade, carbon capture and storage (CCS) has come to
the fore as a way to manage carbon dioxide emissions contributing
to climate change. This book examines its introduction into the
political scene, different interpretations of its significance as
an emerging technology and the policy challenges facing government
and international institutions with respect to its development,
deployment and regulation. The focus of the book is on the
construction of arguments about CCS in the public sphere, the
coalitions of actors who have articulated distinctive perspectives
on CCS and the varied strategies governments have adopted to
integrate it into climate and energy policies. The authors analyse
the issues decision-makers now confront in encouraging the uptake
of the technology, managing uncertainties and regulating attendant
risks. The book includes case studies of the reception of CCS in
seven OECD countries: Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands,
Norway, the United Kingdom and the United States. Developments in
the EU form the subject of an eighth case study. The authors point
to the political significance of CCS as a mitigation option
offering a way forward for fossil fuels in a carbon constrained
world, while also emphasizing the uncertainties that surround its
future development and deployment. Students, scholars and
researchers from a wide variety of fields who are interested in
climate change, energy policy, and the politics and policy of the
environment will find this book illuminating, as will officials and
policy makers in international organizations and governments.
