Carbon Capture and Storage: Risk and Public Perception
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper assesses the financial impacts of the 2010 BP Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico and 2011 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Accident and develops a comparative risk relations matrix to estimate the potential damages of an accident of similar magnitude resulting from the risks (whether real or perceived) associated with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). Based on those results, this paper proposes further research to develop a novel international insurance scheme as a potential method for resolving long-term liability issues and making CCS more readily acceptable to the public.
