Perception of carbon capture and utilization - a framing analysis of German-speaking media.

This article examines the public discourse surrounding carbon capture and utilization (CCU) technologies in German-speaking media. The study finds that CCU technologies are generally framed more positively than negatively in the media, with two dominant frames: the "climate protection frame" and the "benefit frame." The article highlights the importance of societal acceptance for the successful implementation of CCU technologies and suggests that further research is needed to understand public perception and attitudes towards these technologies. The text also discusses the potential of CCU technologies in reducing global emissions and highlights the lack of German-speaking media analysis on CCU. The analysis reveals different frames used in media articles, including "clean coal," "CCS as a climate-change-mitigation option," "CCS as prolonging fossil-fuel use," "CCS as a risky technology," and "CCS as not politically feasible in Germany." The study aims to address the research gap in media analysis of CCU technologies in Germany and provides an explorative framing analysis of German-speaking print and online media. The text also discusses the usage of different frames by different actor groups and suggests the need for more diverse actors in public discussions on CCU. The given text also includes a list of references and supplementary material that can be a valuable resource for library patrons conducting research on CCU and its perception in the media. Additionally, there are several supplementary tables and figures that provide additional information related to the main topic of the document, which can be used for further analysis and understanding of the [Extracted from the article]
