TRANSITION TO SUSTAINABLE USE OF FOSSIL FUELS: IMPACTS OF CFF OPTIONS AND SOCIETAL PREFERENCES

摘要

Identification of promising integral strategies and trajectories for a transition towards sustainable fossil fuel use is complex. As a whole, Clean Fossil Fuel (CFF) concepts should comply with societal preferences and criteria and should meet ecological, safety, economic and other criteria. Taking these dimensions into account when designing CFF systems is essential for their successful development and implementation. How this should be done is largely unanswered; weighing very different aspects and impacts of (new) technological systems, in particular societal preferences, is very complex. It is exactly this area that is investigated here using a multidisciplinary approach. Key of this work is the development and deployment of a so-called Information and Choice Questionnaire to inform lay people about CFF options and gather informed and well-considered public opinions and attitudes regarding these CFF options. This process is described in this paper.
