Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has emerged rapidly as a
crucial technological option for decarbonising electricity supply
and mitigating climate change. Great hopes are being pinned on this
new technology but it is also facing growing scepticism and
criticism. This book is the first to bring together the full range
of social and policy issues surrounding CCS shedding new light on
this potentially vital technology and its future. The book covers
many crucial topics including the roles and positions that
different publics, NGOs, industry, political parties and media are
taking up; the way CCS is organised, supported and regulated; how
CCS is being debated and judged; how innovation, demonstration and
learning are occurring and being conceptualised and promoted; and
the role of CCS in the transition to a low carbon energy future.
The authors draw on a variety of approaches, concepts, methods and
themes and provide a new understanding of innovation in the energy
and climate change fields. It tackles the many issues in a way that
speaks to those concerned not only to understand these
developments, but to those who are involved in the scientific and
technological work itself, as well as those charged with evaluating
and making decisions relevant to the future of the technology.
