Abstract：
This study contributes to the literature examining public acceptance of carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects in the US. The examination of factors that shape public support for CCS projects provides policymakers with insights to address public concerns, balance CCS development with public sentiments, and make informed decisions about optimal locations and timing. Based on a nationally representative survey on 1850 respondents, the study finds that in the US, there is very low familiarity (6.4%) regarding CCS technology and some limited opposition (11.5%) to increased CCS development. Regression results suggest that support for increased CCS projects in the US is influenced by perceptions of technical and social risks (leakage and community danger, respectively) but not cost of living risks, perceptions of environmental and economic benefits, familiarity with the technology, confidence in government regulations, and a desire for the US to lead in CCS. We fail to find the \'Not-in-My-Backyard\' effect, and individuals supporting the development of more CCS in their states also support it at a national level. Understanding these factors helps policymakers anticipate challenges in implementing CCS initiatives and allows for the development of strategies to address concerns.
摘要：
这项研究有助于文献检查公众对美国碳捕集与封存（CCS）项目的接受程度。对影响公众对CCS项目支持的因素的研究为决策者提供了解决公众关切的见解，平衡CCS发展与公众情绪，并就最佳地点和时间做出明智的决定。根据对1850名受访者的全国代表性调查，研究发现，在美国，对CCS技术的熟悉程度很低（6.4％），对增加CCS开发的反对意见有限（11.5％）。回归结果表明，对美国增加的CCS项目的支持受到对技术和社会风险（泄漏和社区危险，分别)，但不是生活成本风险，对环境和经济效益的看法，熟悉技术，对政府法规的信心，以及美国在CCS领域处于领先地位的愿望。我们找不到“不在我的后院”效果，和个人支持更多的CCS的发展在他们的国家也支持它在国家一级。了解这些因素有助于政策制定者预测实施CCS倡议的挑战，并允许制定解决关切的战略。
