Resumen:
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a technology identified as a potential solution to mitigate climate change by reducing carbon emissions from large-scale emitters. If CCS is expected to be adopted globally, transparent and reliable data and information must be readily attainable to all stakeholders to support the technology choice and decision-making process. The implementation of CCS requires effective communication and collaboration strategies. Still, materials and communication platforms to inform stakeholders about the potential and contribution of CCS are predominantly accessible in English since ongoing projects are mainly located in English-speaking countries. The Mexican Carbon Capture and Storage platform (MeCCS) was developed as a digital sharing and learning space for national stakeholders to obtain and expand their knowledge about CCS technology in Spanish. It was constructed as a boundary object (BO) to bridge different communities and disciplines, facilitating communication, understanding, and cooperation. The platform includes diverse elements that combine science and art to produce dissemination materials for different audiences to help build critical thinking and inform them about CCS technology. The platform confirmed its capacity to transfer and translate knowledge one year after its launch. It also served to connect different audiences in Mexico and globally and identify further areas of research and CCS-related efforts.
