Le captage et le stockage du CO2

An industrial technology already tested in miscellaneous countries, CO₂ capture and storage involves recovering the carbon dioxide and injecting it into deep geological traps. This solution, part of the fight against climate change, is arousing increasing interest in France following the Grenelle Environment Round Table.For the first time, a work is offering a state of knowledge put together by specialists from the Institute of Earth Physics, the Geological and Mining Research Office, the French Petroleum Institute and the National Centre for Scientific Research. It takes stock of the issues surrounding this new technology in France.
Beyond technical discussions between experts, the work focuses on the external communication issues and the open public debates. The viewpoints of miscellaneous stakeholders - research bodies, environmental NGO (French Climate Action Network), European lobby (Zero Emission Platform), citizens, journalists and businesses - are compared. A large part of the work attempts to shed light on the question of the social acceptability of this technology. More than just a summary of published works, this book presents and analyses two instruments of participation - a dialogue workshop and a geographical information Internet site.
