as the reduction of CO2 emissions through CCUS technology as a mitigation strategy for reducing global
warming, CCUS capacity building, and economic benefits for the project site. Thus, positive framing that un­
derlines benefits for the local population should be the basic principle for future communication concerning the
pilot project. Ensuring that local stakeholders’ concerns are addressed through CCUS engagement activities is
crucial. Stakeholders showed their interest in and support for the project and indicated that they would like to be
involved in further stakeholder engagement, value support, and guidance to facilitate a dialogue between the
pilot project team and the community, monitor CCUS activities in the area by accompanying the project team on
site, and serving as CCUS educators for the local population. The local government expressed its support for the
project and agreed to initiate communication with the public, since there is a high level of trust in the gov­
ernment at the local level. Successful public engagement highlights sustainable communication with all project
stakeholders by means of local media, local leaders, and the promotion of the project through local events that
may clear the path for obtaining public acceptance and eventually the social license to operate CCUS activities in
Blora.

Table 5
Arguments for the CCUS Gundih Pilot Project.
Argument Issues Explanation

This argument is climate- and environment-related and was advocated by all the
stakeholders in Blora. If CCUS will be implemented, at least to some extent, people in
Blora District will have the privilege of having a cleaner air, with fewer CO2 emissions
than in the previous condition. Furthermore, although the scale of CCS Gundih is a pilot
project; planned CCUS activities may reduce the amount of CO2 (800 ton/day for the

that produce large or larger amount of CO2 emissions than CPP in Blora to apply such
technology. However, this should be carefully considered, remembering that Indonesia
has a large amount of coal and is still utilizing coal for fuel combustion; CCUS will be the
answer to reduce such carbon emissions, but the promotion and campaigning for
renewable and clean energy has to be strongly endorsed.
The CCUS Gundih Pilot Project will execute the activities of CCUS chain from the
capture, transportation, to storage process. A large amount of manpower will be
required to organise such complete chains. Manpower from the project may not be

growth, and improve the economy in the area who live near and around the site of CPP and CO2 injection wells could support the
project and earn additional income. For example, small positions that require a certain
amount of local manpower are security, foreman and overseer, caterer, lodger, and
driver. These are not only needed at the pilot scale, but could be continued in the long
run, if the CCUS Gundih Pilot Project is successful and considered a routine national
program. Therefore, it will not only trigger local economic growth, but boost the
economy sector of Blora as well, at least in the time span of a pilot project.

area will provide a positive influence and ignite and inspire the younger generation to
study and conduct research in this field.
As a starter for this argument, the CO2 of CCUS Gundih Pilot Project will be transported
through corrosive-resistant pipelines from the CPP in a super critical state. The most

prominent risk is the leakage of CO2 from the pipelines. Stakeholders raised fears and
worries that the leakage will have impacts on vegetation and crops nearby.
This argument is a safety-related counterargument for CCUS. Stakeholders become
opponents if there is any error in the implementation of carbon storage, such as leakages.
This has two-fold effects: first, if a leakage occurs due to CO2 escaping at low-pressure
during the transportation and storage process, it can cause suffocation when there is
little wind. Consequently, CO2 can cause suffocation at a high concentration and

Table 7
Media landscape for communicating CCUS Gundih Pilot Project.
Type Media Characteristic

Local Television Station Aside from Indonesian commercial television stations that can be accessed in Blora, there was a national television network focusing on the news
of the specific region. This network is called TVRI JAWA TENGAH (Television of Republic Indonesia of Central Java Province) and disseminates
the news for people living in Central Java Province, including Blora District. As a local station, TVRI JAWA TENGAH relays 92% national events
and programs with the remaining percentage allocated for the local coverage. TVRI JAWA TENGAH airs its programs from 3 to 7 pm and makes
use of the strong local culture and language that is understandable for the local public. Therefore, the allocated remaining local program could be
harnessed for communicating the CCUS project to people living around the site.
Local Newspaper 1 DIVA Blora is a weekly newspaper that publishes news on Mondays. Around 4300 copies per week are circulated to readers such as village
leaders, schoolteachers, and residents of Blora. DIVA Blora covers news about people, politics, and development in Blora District. Introducing
the nominees for the leader/head of Blora is one of the newspaper’s most important roles, since people directly elect their leaders rather than
appointed them through representatives in the council. Thus, DIVA Blora provides locals with necessary information regarding updates in Blora.
It is a paper-based newspaper and does not have a digital format; thus, residents of the villages who do not have Internet at home or access to the
Internet can still stay up to date with news in Blora District, Central Java, presenting opportunities for project developers to communicate the
planned CCS activities.
2 JATENG POS (CENTRAl JAVA POS) is a Central Java Daily Post, one of 137 owned by the daily JAWA POS Group (JAVA POST Group) in
Indonesia. JATENG POS publishes news around Central Java Province with a circulation of 63,000 copies per day. One of its focus areas is the
Northern Coast of Central Java region (PANTURA) covered by the PATI EKSPRES, which includes news coverage of Blora District. PATI
EKSPRES of JATENG POS is a paper-based and digital format newspaper, thus, it has a larger impact through dissemination to both locals and
outsiders to Blora. Therefore, the project developer might employ the local newspaper to convey the CCS to communities.
Community Radio RADIO GAGAK RIMANG holds an important role in the dissemination of local public information in Blora. Previously, this radio was a Local
Government Radio Broadcast and evolved into a streaming Local Public Broadcasting under the auspices of the Information and Communication
Agency of Blora (Infoblora, 2013). Currently, people outside Blora can listen to news and updates around Blora through a streaming site that the
Government of Blora publishes on its official website. Therefore, this local radio station has extremely important implications for the CCS Gundih
Pilot Project due to its wider public outreach and impacts.
Local Government Internet The Government of Blora District launches news and updates through a prominent Internet site that is called Info Blora (infoblora.com) aside from
Platform their official site (blorakab.go.id). Info Blora is an electronic-based media that seeks to distribute information about “what’s happening in Blora”
for the general public, especially to residents of Blora. Info Blora does not only obtain information from their news administration, but the
residents of Blora contribute news as well, either from social networks, various online media groups, posters, or announcements that are seen by
the administrators. This type of “getting the news mechanism,” characterised by citizen journalism is based upon public citizens "playing an active
role in the process of collecting, reporting, analysing, and disseminating news and information” (Bowman and Willis, 2003). Initially, Info Blora
was founded by volunteers from Blora and is currently under the auspices of the Information and Communication Agency of Blora District, Central
Java Province. The local official internet site thus provides a space for communicating the CCS activities to wider public in the site.
Social Media People in Blora access the internet through their mobile phones to seek information and engage with others Therefore, the use of social media is
quickly increasing in the region. This could benefit the CCS project developer through presenting positive information about the CCS activities in
the region. For example, social media that are often visited by the people in Blora are news websites with comment columns, Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram, and YouTube. These provide a strategic trade-off for the project, since they provide wide distribution of project information at little
cost, should they be handled carefully.
Community Activities Community-Based Society Organisations (CBSOs) activities, such as monthly Women Welfare Association meetings, monthly Integrated
Community Health Centre activities (Posyandu), informal community gatherings, and formal village meetings (Sambung Rasa and Rembug Desa),
Local Thanksgiving event (Sedekah Bumi), and other local traditional events were identified. These communities’ activities provide platforms by
gathering many people at once, which could be used by the project in conveying CCS messages in order to reach a wider and more direct audience.
