INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PUBLIC EDUCATION, TRAINING, AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH FOR CARBON CAPTURE, UTILIZATION, AND STORAGE Decatur, Illinois Meade Harris – Senior Advisor Capacity Development & Public Engagement, The Americas, The Global CCS Institute Wednesday, July 30, 2014

Why education and outreach? “…We could never have dreamed when we began this unit that parents who live in the area would be coming to the school wanting to know more because their children had come home, excited to tell them all about Carbon Storage.” Michael Grove, Assistant Principal, St Anne’s Harvey, WA BUILD TEACHER CONFIDENCE “Of the vast number of energy technologies available to the teaching profession to discuss with students, CCS is one of the least cited technologies.” Dowd and Jeanneret. (2011) Energy Procedia/GHG11 IMPROVE UNDERSTANDING “Many members of the public still require basic information on climate change, CCS, and their relationship to CO 2 emissions.” Itaoka et al. (2010, p10). ENGAGE STUDENTS AND PARENTS “I firmly believe the CCS and CarbonKids Program has awoken a passion for Science in many of our students and teachers…”
