The national survey of 1,548 Canadians commissioned by IPAC-CO2, with support from Carbon Management Canada, conducted by Insightrix Research, Inc. will be released on February 8^th, 2012.

The online Canadian poll parallels the Eurobarometer's report on CCS awareness of 13,000 individuals sampled in 12 European countries.

The survey compares public awareness and acceptance of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) across Canada. IPAC-CO2 was established to meet the needs of the public, as well as industry and regulators. The information gained by the national survey will allow IPAC-CO2 to continue to meet the needs of the public. The nation survey is an important component of IPAC-CO2's project to develop educational material on CCS for public use.

This is the second survey on public awareness and acceptance of CCS developed by IPAC-CO2. The first survey focused only on attitudes towards climate change and carbon capture and storage in the province of Saskatchewan.

IPAC-CO2's Public Awareness and Acceptance of CCS in Saskatchewan survey is available for download.

The Executive Summary and Final Report of the survey on Public Awareness and Acceptance of CCS in Canada will be available on our website on February 8^th
