Details

Energy transition is one of the key factors to tackle climate change in the coming decades. In this energy transition, the subsurface has a major role to play in providing new decarbonised energies (geothermal energy), store new energy alternative (hydrogen) or low energy production residue (nuclear power wastes), as well as providing alternatives to areas where the industry has difficulties to decarbonise (CCS). Problematically, the subsurface is intrinsically invisible and only accessible through indirect methods. The result has been a concentration of the discussion about its usage between specialists. As a result, the connection with the other stakeholders has only happen either to request permits for its usage (with the authorities and institutional decision-makers) or when issues happen (especially with the general public) such as earthquake. There is now an increasing trend in the community to involve more the different stakeholders beyond the experts and find new ways to interacts going beyond the “deficit model”. In this workshop, we aim to explore a broad range of methods to understand and involve the stakeholders into the different usage of the subsurface (e.g., geothermal, minerals, storage). The workshop will be a platform to discuss latest trend and results. The proposed format will involve a morning of presentations to bring an understating of the variety of method and applications to provide discussions over breaks. The afternoon will be reserved for a keynote followed by a round table. Workshop Schedule: 09:30 – 10:30 Stakeholder engagement methods and concepts 1.
