4. What is an “Impact”
You (University), or
You (Industry , business, Stakeholder)
• Get paid
• Have to produce something
• To a timescale
• To standards of quality
• Is used /useable / useful
• Enhanced society / culture / Quality of life
How are outputs
used , measured, understood ?

UK CCS Consortium 2&3 April2012

5. Aim
• Updated UK research Map
• Investigation of the perception of Impact
• Helping you understand your impacts
Case studies in the evaluation of impacts

7. How to work with this ?
• Divide up the problem
1)Think about what we do NOW ….
Tea Break
2) Work on some of YOUR specific examples

8. Talk to the people around you ….
• On your left, right, front, rear
• One A3 handout between 2 (cheap !)
• Pick 5 areas UK does WELL
• Pick 5 areas the UK has MISSED (and should fix)
• TOP 5 of all areas – doing / should do/ could do

10. Results
Each box on the RCUK map of Impacts was given a keyword.
The number of “votes” for each keyword was recorded, and that table of data from all the
groups in the whole meeting was displayed as a Word Cloud. That shows the centrality
and size of the keyword visually, depending on the number of votes cast

16. Analysis
There was , not surprisingly, a strong vote for academic outputs having a strong impact
As one would expect, each group listed “commercialisation” as an essential impact which
the UK should deliver. Creating “wealth” and public “engagement” were also felt to be
important impacts which the UK should be delivering.
And, perhaps most intriguing, was the vote that “Policy” and “Commercialisation” were not
being achieved very well.
It is, of course, arguable if this academic-dominated focus group is representative or
qualified enough to have a full suite of perspectives on those two impacts.
But the concern is clear …….

18. What to do ? …. Form groups
• It’s a bit much to expect engineers to think
about storage
(Although I’m sure that the converse is simple)
SO ………
• Move into thematic groups, focused around
expertise and problems on / with / in CCS
18
UK CCS Consortium 2&3 April2012

19. Themes
1) Capture (all flavours)
2) Transport (on shore, offshore, shipping)
3) Environment (land and sea and factories)
4) Storage
5) Systems
6) Social + policy + economics + legal

UK CCS Consortium 2&3 April2012

20. What to do 2 : after Tea
• Pick 2 projects (maybe 3) to work on as
EXAMPLES – something that one/more are
working on NOW
• Work out YOUR impacts across the WHOLE
table, some fields may be blank
* Methods to define and recognise
* How did you identify the impact
• Work out HOW you can deliver the Impact
• Does the project have impact in other CCS areas
• Timescale of (various) impacts

23. Learning: Things to DO in future when
displaying Impacts and plotting sectors
1) Display time as linear with probability function of impact along it
2) Display impact as triangle or polygon, centered on the mode, or better as a spider
diagram centred on mode.
Probable that most impacts are much longer term than the inventors believe or know at
this time.
Need now to look at FUTURE where do you want to be, and back-cast to present, to invest
in technologies which will help get from now to future
