CarbFix - public engagement and transparency

The history of the CarbFix project spans 12 years. Throughout all this time, CarbFix has not faced problems with public acceptance in relation to carbon capture and storage (CCS) activities. This is noteworthy, as the project's operations are located at Hellisheiði Geothermal Power Plant, which has been contested and scrutinized. It could even be argued that CarbFix has played an important part in increasing the Hellisheiði Plant's acceptance. This paper describes the framework of stakeholder engagement and transparency in relation to industrial scale operations within CarbFix and the impact it has had public acceptance.
