## Notice

The requirement is for a social baseline study for Carbon Storage Research Facility (CSRF) project. In order to improve our understanding of public knowledge and attitudes to CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS), the British Geological Survey (BGS) wishes to acquire a national 'social baseline' that provides a snapshot of attitudes to CCS across the UK from a representative sample of the UK population. This baseline of knowledge and attitudes should also provide the opportunity for comparison with future similar activities, should further funding become available, so that changes in social attitudes towards low carbon technologies can be measured over time.
