Oswoić CCS. Społeczny wymiar transformacji energetycznej i przemysłowej
Summary
The report examines the social dimensions of deploying carbon capture and storage (CCS) in Poland, emphasizing that technical feasibility alone is insufficient without a 'social license to operate.' It highlights the risks of public opposition—citing failures in the Netherlands and Australia—and contrasts them with successful engagement in Japan and Norway. The authors identify low public awareness and safety concerns as primary barriers in Poland and recommend a shift from top-down communication to partnership-based engagement, including early stakeholder involvement, transparent data sharing, and tangible local economic benefits.
Key insights
- Social acceptance in Poland is fragmented and influenced by the NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) and WIMBY (Why In My Back Yard) phenomena, with support for storage varying by region from 18% to 40%, being highest in southern industrial and mining areas.
- Safety is the primary concern for Polish citizens; only 41% of respondents in one study considered CCS safe, with specific fears regarding CO2 leaks, groundwater contamination, and induced seismic activity.
- The Gorgon project in Australia demonstrates that failing to meet ambitious capture targets can severely damage the credibility of CCS technology on a national scale.
- Norway's Longship project and the Northern Lights visitor center illustrate the value of dedicated educational infrastructure in building international and local trust.
