This case series outlines the strategic choices facing Jean-Michel Gires, Total E&P France's (TEPF) VP sustainable development, in designing and executing a community engagement strategy. Case A begins with the acceptance of a pilot Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) system at TEPF's Lacq facility in France, and summarizes the strategic context for the community participation process. Case B is positioned as the CCS plant comes online, and Gires looks back at the successes and failures of the completed community engagement strategy.
The instance carries a range of problems affecting the decision making context, including: the role of CCS in mitigating climate change; an outline of CCS technology; TEPF's climate change strategy; the history of TEPF's operations in the Lacq gasfield, and interactions with local communities; the E.U. climate change regulatory environment (including carbon pricing and CCS) and CCS regulatory doubt in France.
