“…Despite some relatively accessible technological developments, bioenergy, an umbrella term for using biomass, such as trees and perennial woody-plants, as an energy feedstock, is faced with many economic and social hurdles. For instance, while many actors support bioenergy as a sustainable and available means to produce not only local and renewable energy, but also jobs and economic development, others are raising questions about its viability and validity in relation to other environmental, energy, and job creation scenarios (Wright and Reid, 2011). Our ongoing research complements the findings of other scholars (e.g.…”

“…Benford and Snow (2000) subsequently include the formation of persuasive counter frames. Counter framing emerges as either a direct rebuttal or as a result of increased scepticism over time with regards to an initial dominant frame (Wright and Reid, 2011).…”

“…These co-benefits include jobs creation and rural economic development, energy independence through decreased reliance on foreign fossil fuels, increased national security, enhanced biodiversity, and the protection of soil and water resources [3][4][5]. However, not all researchers are so sanguine about the impacts of bioenergy development.…”

News Media Analysis of Carbon Capture and Storage and Biomass: Perceptions and Possibilities

et al. 2015

Abstract:In the US, carbon capture and storage (CCS) has received most of its attention when coupled with the fossil fuel industry as a mitigation strategy for climate change. CCS, which is constituted as a broad suite of capture and sequestration technologies and techniques, does not preclude coupling with other energy industries such as bioenergy (bioenergy and CCS or BECCS). In this paper, we examined news media coverage of CCS and biomass individually in locations throughout the US where these technologies are being explored to determine how they are perceived and what possibilities lay in their coupling for climate change mitigation. From our analyses, we found that individually, both CCS and biomass are perceived generally as beneficial for energy development by the news media, though they are not often mentioned in combination. Combined references do, however, speak to their value for climate change mitigation and as an alternative to fossil fuels.
