Abstract

One of the most essential elements of environmental protection is an appropriate policy towards carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS). On the one hand, these technologies are being dynamically developed. Still, on the other hand, we often encounter social resistance to change and new technologies, which is one of the main barriers to their implementation. This research examined public acceptance and awareness of Indonesia’s CCUS technologies. Five hundred respondents completed an online survey representing Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Bekasi, and Tangerang. The study found that the respondents had more favourable feelings towards carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) than CO 2 capture and storage (CCS), perceiving CCU as more innovative, necessary, cost-effective, secure, environmentally friendly, and beneficial to regional and national economies than CCS. However, in Indonesia, most respondents did not embrace the development of CCUS technology due to a lack of knowledge and fear, which can lead to violence. The results indicate that an individual’s awareness of perceived risks and the ability to safeguard the environment are crucial to their acceptance of CCUS technology. These findings contribute to understanding the public perception of CCUS technologies in Indonesia and can help to develop effective communication strategies to improve public understanding and acceptance of CCUS initiatives.
