Highlights about Public Perception Carbon
Capture and Sequestration

• Its important to show the public that storage of
  carbon dioxide is sufficiently secure so that,
  aside from reducing emissions, they pose no
  significant threat to human health or to
  ecosystems and this importance for climate change
  mitigation (Hawkins)
• Monitoring give credibility
• Questions what kind of public consultation is
  needed concerns referring to different forms of
  storage attitudes towards comparing CO2 with
  other underground uses

12
Carbon Strategy

• Short-term efficiency increase, reaching (near)
  zero emissions technology, including CO2 capture
  and storage, and, at long-term, a hydrogen
  economy.
• Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum (CSLF) is
  good example of international cooperation
• Implement lighthouse projects for CO2 and
  storage
• Address societal concerns regarding laws and
  conventions, health and safety issues, the CO2
  emissions trading schemes

13
Economics

• Facility with capture and storage will cost more
  to build and to operate and will be less
  efficient in its use of primary energy. Higher
  energy cost.
• Energy for poor or emerging countries must be
  bearable, environmentally correct and available
  to all.
• The World must figure out a way to permit growth
  in developing nations while lowering emissions.
• The policies for the energy sector should be
  based on sound and comprehensive research and
  facts, not wishful thinking and activism.

14
Economics

• As pollution has no frontiers and deploy CCTs
  with CCS it is important for world.
• Create a global alliance and establish new trade
  models, as well as development and technological
  as well as financial assistance (ex. CCS fund)
  for the developing countries that will apply CCTs
  and CCS.
• Examples of specific financial instruments are
  green funds loan guarantees or direct loans,
  extended payment periods, tax exemptions and/or
  credits direct subsidies for construction and/or
  production emission credits - an international
  carbon-trading system export credit insurance
  improvement of political and credit risks and
  above all predictable and non-discriminatory
  energy policies.

15
Technology Transfer

• Large amount of money spent by developed
  countries in research and development toward
  fossil fuel zero emissions.
• In poor countries where money is scarce and the
  needs are huge, resources for RD are few and
  should be prioritised.
• Need to develop and adapt technologies CCTs and
  CCS suitable for local conditions.
• Create brains, research centers and networks for
  PD

16
Conclusion

• We need to
• Improve the public perception of Fossil Fuels,
  and of coal in particular, and to realize that
  disseminating information of Carbon Capture
  Storage is fundamental to this.
• Show to the public the carbon management strategy
  and its importance for world energy supply
  security.
• Promote world-wide lighthouse projects for CO2
  and storage
• Create one Global Alliance (ex. CCS Fund) to
  assist developing countries in acquiring and
  developing CCTs and CCS
• Establish partnerships and create financial
  assistance to promote RD in developing countries
