  • Local Acceptance and Communication As Crucial Elements for Realizing CCS in the Nordic Region
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Energy Procedia 86 ( 2016 ) 315 – 323 The 8th Trondheim Conference on CO2 Capture, Transport and Storage Local acceptance and communication as crucial elements for realizing CCS in the Nordic region a* b Jacob Kielland Haug , Peter Stigson aSINTEF Energy Research, P.O. Box 4761 Sluppen, NO-7465 Trondheim, Norway bIVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute, Valhallavägen 81, SE-114 27 Stockholm, Sweden Abstract The purpose of this paper was to assess the Nordic situation with regard to carbon capture and storage (CCS) deployment at the local level. This was done by identifying important factors found in the literature on community acceptance and communication and relating this to possible CCS deployment in the Skagerrak region. The analysis was complemented with findings from interviews made with municipalities in the three countries (Denmark, Sweden and Norway). The results show that the possibilities to store CO2 offshore may be a clear advantage for the Nordic region and that Porsgrunn municipality in Norway display very positive attitudes towards existing and potential CCS activities, which stands in contrast to the many public acceptance challenges experienced in Europe. Moreover, the municipalities display very different awareness about CCS, which is seen in relation to CCS experiences and national policies. © 20162015 The Authors.
