Abstract

Carbon capture, utilisation and storage, often referred to simply as CCUS, refers to a suite of technologies to decarbonise many hard-to-abate industries. However, commercial-scale adoption of CCUS technologies faces critical barriers related to application scope, societal acceptance, and financing. Here we propose how fossil energy-exporting countries are uniquely situated to expedite CCUS deployment at scale. Using a sociotechnical systems perspective, we show how one such country, the United Arab Emirates, serves as an important case study for addressing eight different sociotechnical barriers to CCUS adoption. We evaluate the elements that are addressed by factors related to local context and those which represent opportunities for application in other geographies. We argue that scaling-up CCUS is both a duty and opportunity for countries like the UAE as they decarbonise their industries and economies.

在实现碳捕获、利用和封存方面发挥领导作用

碳捕获、利用和封存，通常简称为CCUS，指的是一套能够使许多难以减排的行业脱碳的技术。然而，CCUS技术的商业规模采用面临着与应用范围、社会接受度和融资相关的关键障碍。在这里，我们提出了化石能源出口国如何独特地加速CCUS的大规模部署。从社会技术系统的角度来看，我们展示了一个这样的国家，阿拉伯联合酋长国，如何作为一个重要的案例研究来解决CCUS采用的八种不同的社会技术障碍。我们评估与当地环境相关的因素所解决的要素，以及那些代表在其他地区应用机会的要素。我们认为，对于像阿联酋这样的国家来说，扩大CCUS既是责任，也是机遇，因为它们正在实现工业和经济的脱碳。

期刊介绍： Energy Research & Social Science (ERSS) is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles examining the relationship between energy systems and society. ERSS covers a range of topics revolving around the intersection of energy technologies, fuels, and resources on one side and social processes and influences - including communities of energy users, people affected by energy production, social institutions, customs, traditions, behaviors, and policies - on the other. Put another way, ERSS investigates the social system surrounding energy technology and hardware. ERSS is relevant for energy practitioners, researchers interested in the social aspects of energy production or use, and policymakers. Energy Research & Social Science (ERSS) provides an interdisciplinary forum to discuss how social and technical issues related to energy production and consumption interact. Energy production, distribution, and consumption all have both technical and human components, and the latter involves the human causes and consequences of energy-related activities and processes as well as social structures that shape how people interact with energy systems. Energy analysis, therefore, needs to look beyond the dimensions of technology and economics to include these social and human elements.
