Global CCS Institute - Day 2 - Keynote - CCS Progress in CanadaGlobal CCS Institute
The keynote presentations discussed progress on carbon capture and storage (CCS) in Canada, the United States, and Australia. In Canada, several projects including Shell's Quest and SaskPower's Boundary Dam project were highlighted. For CCS to be sustainable, it needs progress in technology, regulatory frameworks, and stakeholder support. While technology is advancing, cancelled projects show that public engagement and trust are also needed. Standards on CCS and engagement are important to enhance confidence and deployment. Overall, economic incentives and community outreach are critical to continued progress on CCS.

Taylor: Estimating uncertainty for continental scale measurements.questRCN
The document discusses approaches for estimating and communicating uncertainty in continental-scale environmental measurements. It describes how the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) aims to help with this challenge by making all its data, algorithms, and uncertainty calculations freely available. NEON also publishes detailed documentation on its methods and hosts workshops to advance the understanding and treatment of uncertainty in large-scale ecological studies.
The document discusses ICARDA's experience with participatory community development planning approaches. It outlines the steps taken which include: 1) characterizing the community through mapping and surveys, 2) participatory diagnosis of problems and identification of solutions, and 3) development of community-based organizations and multi-year development plans. The approach aims to empower communities and foster collective action through consensus-building. Key benefits identified are improved targeting of resources and ease of project implementation when communities approve annual and long-term development plans.
This document discusses prioritizing agricultural research for development impact. It argues that decision analysis should be used to focus research on filling key knowledge gaps that affect important decisions, rather than trying to address all gaps. Decision analysis involves building a model of all factors influencing a decision, assessing current knowledge, and identifying which knowledge gains would be most valuable. As an example, the document describes using decision analysis to evaluate a controversial water pipeline project in Kenya. It concludes that development research could benefit from adopting decision analysis approaches to better support complex, risky decisions under uncertainty.

This document outlines a workshop on climate adaptation planning tools hosted by the New England Climate Adaptation Project. The workshop included an introduction to the project, a scenario exercise, and a presentation on adaptation planning tools such as risk assessments, stakeholder assessments, and role-playing simulations. A poll of New England residents found most are concerned about climate impacts but skeptical their towns can respond effectively. The workshop aimed to help communities better understand climate risks and consider how to incorporate adaptation into planning and decision-making.
This presentation will focus on data gathered from a survey and in-depth interviews with Hudson Valley municipal
officials. The goal of this project was to determine Hudson Valley local government officials’ attitudes toward climate
change and perceptions of climate change taking place in their communities. We also determined local government
officials’ views of risks, vulnerabilities, and issues associated with climate change as it will impact the natural resources
and infrastructure under their jurisdiction. We will discuss what actions local governments are taking to mitigate and
adapt to climate change as well as why some are not. Results also show local government officials’ views of adaptations
and policy options which might address issues resulting from climate change. We also offer suggestions on the most
effective ways of reaching municipal officials with information about climate change threats at a local level – including
the resources that will help local government officials implement solutions and adaptations. Presentation by Shorna Allred, Allison Chatrchyan, and Maureen Mullen. August 13, 2012, Hudson Valley Climate Action Network, Norrie Point Environmental Center, Staatsburg, NY

29. Dialogue Boards
Introduction
•Two “virtual focus groups” were held a month after the survey with
around 50 selected survey respondents from Poland and Spain.
•An online dialogue board was run over 2 days. On each day a
number of open-ended questions are posed to which respondents
respond. The guiding principle was that respondents log on at least
twice a day and post their responses average participation of one
to two hours a day for each respondent.
•Participants were asked about their opinions on CCS and specific
projects, what images or metaphors they associate with it, how it fits
into their general attitudes towards climate change, and
whether/how the survey itself has influenced their opinions on CCS.
30. Dialogue Boards:
Knowledge, information & participation
• Participants had not generally heard of CCS or the specific
projects previously
• Though most participants sought more information after
the survey, they were mostly dissatisfied with the available
material
• Participants tried to talk to friends, colleagues and
neighbours after the survey, but found that generally there
was not much interest or knowledge
• The survey and DB were seen as positive experiences by
participants who were pleased that their opinions were
seen as important
31. Dialogue Boards:
Risks and Safety
• Safety was seen as the most important factor influencing
attitudes towards CCS: Even those participants generally in
favour were insistent on safety standards being met
adequately.
• Risks were also seen as problematic due to the long-term
nature of CCS: adequate guarantees of safety cannot be
made for an indefinite future – who knows what will
happen in 100 years time?
• The DBs were held during the week after the Japanese
earthquake: This episode demonstrated to many
participants that even the best safety measures can be
defeated by unforeseen events.
32. Dialogue Boards:
Costs and Burdens
• Participants saw the economic benefits in terms of job
creation and (in Poland) evading EU fines for not meeting
emissions targets
• But CCS was also seen as possibly leading to a drop in
tourism and driving out the local population which worried
about the risks.
• Participants were concerned about who will meet the costs
of CCS –seen as either taxpayers or the energy consumers.
• Expectation that politicians and energy companies will
profit from CCS, and a general feeling of industry benefiting
at the expense of ordinary people.
33. Summary
• Distance matters – Distance to capture and storage sites
have different relationships to support for CCS projects
• Trust matters – Project developers and governments are not
only the least trusted, but their information is less likely to
be consulted and those with less trust in the planning
process or developers and bad past experience are more
likely to oppose projects
• Knowledge and information matters – Support for CCS
projects tended to erode with more information, but this
was most notable among those with lower levels of
education and less genuine knowledge. Stakeholders and
sensitized publics (Germany and Netherlands) were much
more likely to seek information from multiple sources

37. Knowledge
• 43% of public respondents had never heard of
CCS, and 10% indicated they knew quite a bit.
Only 3% of stakeholders claimed never to have
heard of CCS and 78% stated knew “quite a bit”.
• Only 19% of all public respondents indicated
‘genuine knowledge’ although this is higher than
the 10% claiming to know “quite a bit” about
CCS. Whereas 78% of stakeholders claimed to
know “quite a bit”, just over half (51%) indicated
that CCS only addresses climate.
38. Attitudes I
• The public in all five countries were supportive
of CCS in general (net +51% favourable)
ranging from net +72% favourable rating in
Poland to +20% in Germany. Stakeholders
were more negative (net -20%).
• The relationship between respondent position
relative to the capture site and their attitudes
towards CCS was found to be less pronounced
than their position relative to the storage site.
39. Attitudes II
• Relative to CCS in general, support for the
local project was notably lower (10% lower
net favourable rating among the public most
dramatically in Germany and 16% lower net
favourable score among stakeholders). In the
other four countries, there are still large
majorities who view the local project
favourably (ranging from +38% net favourable
in the Netherlands to +66% in Poland).
40. Information Sources I
• Stakeholders were far more likely to consult
different sources and more than half consulted
any of six different sources of information.
• In all countries, the least likely sources were the
EU, developers and word of mouth.
• Similar to stakeholders, German and Dutch
public respondents were much more likely to
choose multiple sources and six different sources
were listed by over half of respondents.
41. Information Sources II
• Stakeholders were very likely to seek more
information about the project. Among public
respondents, only the Dutch were more likely
than not to want additional information.
• University scientists scored highest in terms of
respondents' trust to give them impartial
information about CCS, followed by
national/international NGOs; developers,
governments and word of mouth scored
lowest.
