ROAD stands for ‘Rotterdam Opslag en Afvang Demonstratieproject’ (Rotterdam Capture and Storage Demonstration Project) and is one of the largest integrated demonstration projects in the world for the capture and storage of CO₂, based on a new coal-fired power station located outside of Rotterdam, the Netherlands. 

The ROAD project has received support from the Institute to contribute to the international development of knowledge, experience and information on CCS. Ultimately, the development of hands-on CCS knowledge and expertise should accelerate the commercial deployment of CCS projects worldwide.

In this report, the Stakeholder Management function of the ROAD Project is described. Stakeholder Management within ROAD comprises permitting, regulatory affairs, and communications and public engagement. This report aims to help other CCS projects with developing an integrated Stakeholder Management approach.
