Call for proposals! Study on carbon capture and storage and social sciences

The Zero Emissions Platform (ZEP) is an advisor to the EU on carbon capture and storage (CCS) since 2005. With a diverse membership including industry, research, and environmental groups, ZEP offers balanced policy advice and collaborates with various national and international initiatives.

ZEP is funding a study, supported by a Horizon Europe grant, on the social and humanities aspects of CCS. This study aims to provide recommendations for policymakers and project developers to support a just transition.

Proposals for this research are invited until 2 February 2024 with a focus on exploring economic, social, and governance issues related to CCS, such as industry size, job creation, necessary skills, socio-economic impacts, and the role of CCS in a fair transition.

The study’s timeline includes selection, research, drafting, and a final report, concluding with a webinar launch on 16 July 2024.

Interested candidates should submit a detailed proposal, including research questions, scope, structure, and budget, to ZEP’s Secretary General Joop.Hazenberg@zeroemissionsplatform.eu.
