Carbon Capture and Storage: A Social Science and Technology Brief on Sustainability
This session features a panel of scientists who outline the social, economic and environmental/climate promises of CCS as a technology as well as the unavoidable uncertainties of full-scale CCS.
The following talks are 10 min each with 5 minutes of Q/A afterwards:
- Tore Furevik, Director, Bjerknes Centre for climate research: Why do we need CCS? A quick 10 min “tour” of what IPCC scenarios tell us about CCS and what this means for science & society.
- Siri Veland, NORCE: Can we trust CCS? What are the current public perceptions of CCS and how can industry create a social-license-to-operate through applied social science?
- Sarah Gasda, NORCE: What’s the impact on the Ocean? How can marine ecology know-how and sensor technology spot any CO2 leaks?
- Logan Brunner, TNO: Recycle and Re-use? From oil extraction to Carbon injection: Existing oil and gas industry installations which cover large parts of the potential CCS chain are already in place, and an increasing number of reservoirs have come to the end of their production lifetime and are earmarked as major targets for initiating large-scale CCUS operations. What opportunities and challenges do existing wells present?
- Dorothy Dankel, UiB: What is Responsible CCS? We may understand the need for CCS technology, but we must not take the technology for granted. How can scientists and industry be more reflexive in their work with this technology? Dorothy will explain the research frame of “Responsible Research and Innovation” in the CCS context with examples from the ACTOM project.
- Plenary Q/A and discussions

Hi! :D I'm Dorothy J. Dankel, Ph.D. (41), a transdisciplinary researcher with expertise in Responsible Research and Innovation in marine science. In 2009, I incorporated a variety of scientific themes in my Ph.D. thesis “Building blocks of sustainability in marine fisheries management” including numerical modeling of marine fishery strategies using harvest control rules. After my specialization in marine fisheries management with research stays at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth, School of Marine Science and Technology (SMAST) and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Austria, I began research at the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Bergen. During the “Reflexive Systems Biology” project funded by the Research Council of Norway, I worked closely with a social anthropologist in synthetic biology labs in USA and applied social science and anthropology methods including ethnography and text analysis. From 2009-2015 I chaired the ICES Working Group Fishery Systems (WGFS), and subsequently led the transition to Working Group Maritime Systems (WGMARS). Since 2012, I have been a board member of the Nordic Marine Think Tank (www.nmtt.org) and currently Vice-Chair. I'm a co-editor of the textbook Management Science For Fisheries: An introduction to simulation-based methods, and have co-edited a special issue for the academic journal Futures on social and ethical topics of biotechnology and society.

I work on drivers of climate variability and climate change. Of particular interest is how impacts of climate change and mitigation efforts relate to the SDGs. Where are the co-benefits? What are the trade offs? Who should decide?
