Her research focuses on bringing together insights from politics, psychology and engineering to advance knowledge on socio-political perspectives of CCS technologies. With countries continuing to pursue efforts to tackle environmental concerns such as climate change, it has become necessary to consider not only what technology is available, but also how social and political barriers to the advancement of technology can be overcome. One aspect of that debate is considering how ideas emerge on the government agenda to become seriously taken by policy makers. CCS technologies have been recognised as having an important role to play in steeper carbon dioxide emissions reductions, in efforts to tackle climate change. Despite the opportunities CCS present, there have been variations in the levels of government investment for CCS demonstration projects over the past decade in the UK, with projects often appearing to be frustrated in practice. This makes it interesting to focus an analysis of how policy ideas come to be taken seriously and which factors affect ongoing support of policy solutions. By applying insights from policy theory to the UK CCS case, my research seeks to identify lessons that will be valuable to proponents of other technology options.The University of SheffieldFraser MilneStorageI an a process engineer responsible for operating the depleted oil and gas reservoirs in Liverpool Bay which will be utilised for carbon storage as part of the Hynet developmentEni UKToni MiszewskiStorageAnTech LtdHenry MorrisCaptureTechnical DirectorAzinor CatalystDaniel MullenCapturePhD student, in Carbon capture, focusing on Post Combustion CCS for energy generation.University of EdinburghHasan MuslemaniCross Cutting Issues: Business/Policy/Public PerceptionHasan is a Doctoral Researcher at the University of Edinburgh Business School with expertise in clean energy finance, environmental economics and natural capital accounting.
