Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) as low-carbon technology has the potential to reduce the use of fossil resources and CO2-emissions. Public protests against Carbon Capture and Storage showed that a successful rollout of low-carbon technologies requires social acceptance. The present study explores the relationship between risk and benefit perceptions and the perceived uncontrollability of the technology to predict the general and local acceptance of CCU, based on structural equation modeling. Perceived benefits (savings of fossil resources and CO2-emissions) were positively associated with affective benefit evaluations, which were the highest predictors of general CCU-acceptance. Risk perceptions were positively related to affective risk evaluations, which predicted local CCU-acceptance. Perceived uncontrollability was negatively related to CCU-perceptions and acceptance. The findings highlight the importance of understanding the interplay between perceived uncontrollability, risk and benefit perceptions, and resulting social acceptance of CCU. Implications to promote a socially acceptable deployment of low-carbon technologies were derived.

风险收益认识和公众对碳捕集与利用的接受

碳捕集与利用(CCU)作为低碳技术具有减少化石资源和CO 2排放量使用的潜力。公众对“碳捕集与封存”的抗议表明,成功推广低碳技术需要社会的认可。本研究探索了基于结构方程模型的风险和收益感知与感知技术的不可控制性之间的关系,以预测CCU的普遍性和本地性。预期收益(节省化石资源和减少CO 2-排放)与情感受益评估呈正相关,这是一般CCU接受程度的最高预测因子。风险感知与情感风险评估呈正相关,后者可以预测当地的CCU接受程度。感知的不可控制性与CCU的感知和接受程度呈负相关。研究结果突出了理解理解的不可控制性,风险和收益感知以及由此产生的CCU社会接受度之间相互作用的重要性。得出了促进社会上可接受的低碳技术部署的含义。
