演讲英文摘要：
What role for carbon capture and storage in Australia?
Results from a survey of the Australian public and an update on current research activities
There are many studies that demonstrate the challenges of integrating science and technology into society when the topic is emotive. Energy technologies often fall into this category. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is one technology associated with capturing carbon dioxide from both power generation and large industrial sources and storing underground. For some audiences CCS has a perceived high risk, some feel that it legitimizes the use of fossil fuels and others simply know nothing about it. Regardless, it makes deployment more challenging. This presentation will focus on the results of an Australian national survey to understand public attitudes to energy technologies, including CCS and nuclear. It will also compare the impact of different information provision using an interactive online tool opposed to more tabular information. Finally, it will provide details of a new carbon storage research project, recently awarded to the University of Queensland. The project is one of seven projects funded under the Australian CCS Research Development and Demonstration Fund aimed at supporting the Australian government’s commitment to reduce the technical and commercial barriers for the deployment of large scale CCS projects. It is interdisciplinary in nature including a knowledge sharing component with China and aims to have several Chinese PhD students, both technical and from the social sciences, working on the project.
