Abstract
Currently, a prime position in the global emission mitigation and power transformation system is taken up by CCS technology (carbon capture and storage), proven by the successful realization of a number of CCS projects around the world, not only for CO2 storage, but also for its deployment in industry. CO2-utilizing technologies are circular business models connected with the usage of emissions to provide added benefits throughout the value chain, with their value being part of a response to end the era of cheap mineral resources and materials, as well as their ability to contribute to the transition to a low carbon economy. At the same time, one of the main problems they face lies in the engagement and interaction of stakeholders, as well as public perception of these projects. The purpose of this research is to explore the main stakeholder groups in CCS projects and offer an approach for their management. The methodology of this study is based on case studies, stakeholder management tools, and a checklist method, which were adapted to the specific area of CCS projects. The results of this study amounted to the identification of stakeholder groups with interests and respective roles in CCS projects, as well as proposing a new approach for their assessment through the created checklist method.
Highlights
The concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) in the atmosphere surpassed the 410 ppm mark in June, 2018 [1], and by the end of this century, it is expected to double [2].The problems of greenhouse gas emissions leading to global climate change are of immediate interest
The task was approached by first identifying the main stakeholders of CCS projects that can influence the prospects for their implementation, as well as their main critical topics and interests, and second by applying the checklist method based on drawing up a list of the questions to estimate the extent of the influence and importance of various groups of stakeholders in such projects
We resort to the classic checklist method and create a list of questions to conduct a quantitative assessment of the stakeholders, propose a matrix of stakeholders in CCS projects
Summary
The concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) in the atmosphere surpassed the 410 ppm mark (parts per million—CO2 particles on one million particles of air) in June, 2018 [1], and by the end of this century, it is expected to double [2]. The problems of greenhouse gas emissions leading to global climate change are of immediate interest. Nations) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) for the assessment of risks of global warming, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established, and in 1992, the Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC, United Nations) was adopted. In addition to the FCCC, the Kyoto Protocol came into force in 2005. This document ensured that each country would ratify certain quotas for their greenhouse emissions. In 2015, the Paris Agreement, which deals with greenhouse gas emissions mitigation, was signed
