PUBLIC OUTREACH KEY TO CCS PROJECT SUCCESS, EXPERTS SAY

摘要

The permitting process for carbon sequestration projects and local public awareness are key drivers in a project's success, panelists said during a discussion headed by Sarah Wade of the World Resources Institute at the 8th Annual CCS Conference, held here earlier this month. Panelists discussedhow several projects have made it through the permitting process and what kinds of recommendations they would make to other utilities and research organizations looking to do the same. "It's best to have varying degrees of technical information. Be prepared for the full-range of audience knowledge," said West Coast Regional Sequestration Partnership (WESTCARB) Outreach Coordinator Richard Myhre of the public hearing process for new sites.
