3CHAPTER“Through thelooking-glass”resemble any real person or entity because the chosen combination ofactivities, developments and opinions do not occur in Europe in the realworld. In §3.2 the chosen combination for the voices is PURE FICTION butindividual elements, sentiments, actions, struggles, opinions, bottlenecks,etc. do occur in the CCS reality out here and there. The text of §3.2 is thusinspired by our contacts with real people in interviews and othermeetings and our analysis but it is PURE FICTION.Virtual interviews (§3.3)In §3.3 we will try to give you another view on the Rotterdam CCS approachby using the same voices. The issue here is to obtain a closer view on thestrengths and weaknesses of the Rotterdam approach. The answer woulddiffer for each voice. We have chosen two voices to be interviewed virtuallyand give their opinion on the Rotterdam approach. The two voices chosenare the Governor (politician) and the CEO. The assessment from these twovery different perspectives not only helps the Rotterdam parties to understandhow the outside world may have assessed their project but it also willhelp the intended reader in understanding these two perspectives and have abetter conversation with the representatives of these perspectives in theirown region. Also here we have to deliver a disclaimer. The expressions ofthe voices in this section are PURE FICTION; none of these words can beattributed to real persons. The aim was to let you feel how others MAY havethought about the Rotterdam CCS approach. We did however get ourinspirations from interviews with real persons.Discussion (§3.4)The chapter will be completed with a discussion. We will start that discussionby briefly giving you insight in the straight outcomes of our analyticalwork (as presented in chapter 1). This will give you some background to theoutcome of the analysis as presented in §3.2 and 3.3. The more analyticallyoriented persons can start with reading §3.4.1. The second part of thediscussion section is dedicated to achieving a general view on learning fromusing the approach with the four perspectives (§3.4.2). The last partconsists of a first discussion of the approach of the analysis (§3.4.3).Titles and languageSince this chapter has a highly fictional content, we have chosen somefiction related titles for the chapter and some sections. We did that mainlyto stress the fictional character of this chapter and because it is fun to makeup such titles. We also exaggerated the language use of the entrepreneurand the politician a bit by letting them use mainly extreme forms ofvaluation (with words like “excellent” and “superb”).3.2. Looking through the “key” holeIn this section we will use five key events to come to an evaluation of theRotterdam approach from the different perspectives. The events werechosen based on two criteria: (i) they should be really important for thedevelopment of the Rotterdam CCS approach and (ii) they should be sodiverse as to cover all relevant aspects for the voices. The following fiveevents were chosen:22
3CHAPTER“Through thelooking-glass”1. The start of the Rotterdam Climate Initiative (May 2007)2. Participation in the National Taskforce CCS (April 2008)3. The RCI CCS annual report of 2009 (August 2009)4. Funding agreement with the Global CCS Institute (July 2010)5. The EU NER300 application (February 2011)The choice of these five will be clear when you see the elaboration. For eachkey event we will give the assessment of each of the voices: what strikesthem, what is positive and negative, what causal relations do they perceiveto be the basis for the event, what do they perceive as barriers and drivers,etc. The format we use for that assessment is excerpts from a (fictitious)memorandum or memo that each voice had obtained from one of her or hisadvisers or written by him. These excerpts will be in a different format andsince they are excerpts they are not complete verbatim copies of the memo,so we will use three dots (…) to designate that text has been virtually leftout. Each section will begin with a short note containing two aspects:• a short rap-up of what has happened since the description of the previousevent;• timing and (thus!) importance of the memo• and the section will be closed with a hint to possible actions after readingthe memo.Note (again): all texts in the memos are pure fiction and meantto be illustrative for the case. No citation can be attributed to realexisting persons. To stress the fictional content of the memos, theyare represented in green boxes (green = fiction).3.2.1. The start of the Rotterdam Climate Initiative, the RCI(May 2007)The eventThe start of the RCI is celebrated by a public meeting and press conferencein which Mr Lubbers (former Prime Minister of the Netherlands and now RCIambassador) and Mr Opstelten present the Climate Plans of Rotterdam.PoliticianThe day after the press meeting the Governor gets a memo on the constitutionof the RCI:23
