“…The population living in that nation was supportive (or not objected) about the project Public acceptability is often advocated as a precondition for project success (Brunsting et al 2013;Kaldellis et al 2013) The presence of the independent variable is correlated with the absence of delays in the construction phase…”

Infrastructure megaprojects are historically associated with poor delivery, both in terms of cost and schedule performance. Large Transport Infrastructure Projects (TIPs) are amongst the most controversial and are often delivered late, over budget, and providing less benefits than expected. While there is a growing theoretical body of literature addressing TIPs, empirical research is still required to determine which TIPs characteristics affect TIPs schedule & cost performance. This paper addresses this issue, applying an empirically-based methodology to a dataset of 30 European TIPs. The results highlight the importance of financial support from the government and the strong influence of both external and internal stakeholders, mainly in relation to their early engagement and to their nationality. Technological characteristics and the presence of Special Purpose Entities are also correlated with the TIPs performance. These key findings both support and contradict the literature, and are relevant for both policy makers and project managers during the decision-making process, planning and delivery of TIPs.

Tailor-made risk governance for induced seismicity of geothermal energy projects: An application to Switzerland

Fully open or partly open geothermal systems can induce potentially damaging seismicity. How this seismicity should be addressed depends on the geothermal system, its operational characteristics, the geological context, exposed buildings, existing infrastructure and populations, and social concern. This paper proposes an initial screening tool, called Geothermal Risk of Induced seismicity Diagnosis (GRID), for estimating to what extent induced seismicity is of concern for a specific project. A framework for tailor-made risk governance measures is then recommended, including hazard and risk assessment, social site characterization, seismic monitoring, insurance, structural retrofitting, traffic light systems, information and outreach, and public and stakeholder engagement. The proposed framework is currently customized to Switzerland and can be adapted to other regions or geo-energy applications.

“…On the one hand, it will enable to determine the necessary measures increasing a general level of awareness; on the other hand, it will enable to demonstrate the authorities’ interest in the public opinion, and, consequently, improve the public trust in one of the key CCS stakeholders at the initial stage — the state. For example, one can use elements of the approaches to the Social Site Characterization proposed in [160] (main principles of public participation), and [161] (approach to the CCS project management).…”

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a technology enabling to use fossil fuels in a sustainable way. Therefore, it attracts much attention from the industrial sector, government authorities and scientific community. However, public awareness of the technology is extremely low, and the studies of the lay people's opinion have been launched only during the last decade. Taking into account the role of public support during the implementation of CCS projects, the authors would like to present herein their review of materials on this subject published during 2002–2018 (135 articles). As part of our review, we determined 9 key aspects forming the public perception of CCS. For each of the key aspects, we summarized the available results of the studies. Apart from that, we compared the CCS current status in different countries and provided a number of reasons for involving new countries into the fight against global warming. This work shows that most attention is devoted to CO2 storage; whereas its capture and transportation are poorly studied in terms of public perception. Wider development is required for the methodology enabling a transition from global rhetoric concerning global warming issues to the implementation of particular projects, namely, CCS. The issues related to public awareness of CCS are studied rather thoroughly, but no recommendations are provided regarding the establishment of an optimal database for the lay people. Numerous assessments of general public perception have been carried out. However little attention was paid to the regions with active projects, namely, to the factors considered the most important by the local public, and how actual project results meet their expectations. Therefore, despite an extensive scientific base developed over 17 years, further studies should be aimed at filling the existing gaps. This will enable to improve CCS attractiveness for the public, including the cases when it is compared with alternative low-carbon technologies.
