Mediemagneten Mongstad - debatten om CO2-fangst og -lagring i norske aviser

Abstract

Whether Norway should make use of its own natural gas resources or not has been discussed at length during the past decade. The debate gained momentum when the development of technology for carbon capture and storage (CCS) was launched as Norway’s «lunar landing» by Prime Minister Stoltenberg in 2007. Using the concept of story lines, I analyse how the actors are grouped around different positions relating to CCS and, in the process, show the importance of media for the dynamics in the debate.
