History, technological challenges and societal acceptability Dr Amanda Garcia of the Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences (HIMS) has been awarded a competitive top-up grant for Responsible Innovation of 325,000 euros, as part of the program on ElectroChemical Conversion and Materials (ECCM) from the Dutch Research Council NWO. It concerns research on 'Carbon capture and utilisation - historical context, technological challenges and societal acceptability' that will be carried out in collaboration with Prof. Gadi Rothenberg (HIMS) and Prof. John Grin from UvA's Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences. "Tackling CO2 emissions requires new technological solutions, but technology alone is not enough", says Garcia. She explains that establishing a worldwide energy transition requires public participation and confidence. "This project is about understanding the historical, political, and social factors that shape the public's perception of new energy technologies".
