Climate change is arguably the most important environmental issue that the world currently faces. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) offers the possibility of significant reductions in the volume of CO2 released into the atmosphere in the near to medium term. As a fairly new technology that has not been widely adopted, there remain some uncertainties related to both viability and desirability. This book discusses the key issues with regard to technical and legal feasibility, economic viability and public and stakeholder perceptions. It also provides recommendations for policy and future research. 'CO2 storage is attracting much attention as an option for mitigating climate change. Anyone interested in energy policy needs to understand how the potential of CO2 storage is influenced by local factors, including public attitudes and legality as well as technology and economics. This book provides the results of a study about these issues in the UK that others would do well to follow.' Dr Paul Freund, Convening Lead Author, IPCC Special Report on CO2 Capture and Storage, UK
