Abstract
Critical public perception of capture and subsequent geological storage of CO2 (CCS – Carbon Capture and Storage) may turn out to be a hindrance to the development of the CCS technology. Therefore, in addition to the scientific and technological development, acceptance by the public is a decisive prerequisite for the successful implementation of this technology. Notwithstanding the result of any decision, it is desirable that decisions on acceptance or rejection of a technology are based on factual arguments rather than on speculations. Public outreach within the CLEAN project therefore aimed to support opinion-forming based on scientific knowledge and transparent discussion of concerns, benefits and knowledge gaps. All this was addressed with a variety of media, tailored to the respective target audience. However, conducting effective public outreach does not necessarily guarantee the success of a project.
