Expert perceptions of public engagement with Carbon Capture and Storage

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is widely seen as a key technology for mitigating climate change. 

This research comprises a dataset formed of two parts, which stem from mixed-methods research (comprising expert interviews and an online survey) to elucidate CCS experts' perceptions and rationales, and expose CCS expert views of public engagement. 

The first part of the dataset presents the results of qualitative analysis of qualitative interviews (N=13) from experts who are active in the area of CCS. Their responses have been anonymised and coded to create thematic units for qualitative analysis.

The second part of the dataset presents the results of a larger (N=99) sample of experts active in the area of CCS. They completed an online survey on their perceptions of public engagement with CCS. Their responses were anonymised and identifiable information removed, but otherwise raw data are provided in a combination of free text and numerical (scale) responses.
