The Tasks of Climate Related Energy Ethics – The Example of Carbon Capture and Storage

Abstract
In this article I try to show that climate ethics must be to a great extent risk and energy ethics. As the emissions of carbon dioxide have to be stopped completely in a relatively short period of time a massive change of global energy systems is needed. Scenarios of how this can realistically be achieved must be developed and evaluated. The required transformations potentially conflict with the important aims of energy security, economic development and overcoming energy poverty. Proposed measures may involve unacceptable risks or be counterproductive. Criteria, principles and guidelines are proposed which are needed to deal with these problems. Finally, the difficulties and tasks of climate related energy ethics are critically exemplified on the strategy of comprehensive carbon capture and storage, a strategy which is part of almost all scenarios which aim at restricting the increase of the average global temperature to 2° C.
