Early engagement with First Nations in British Columbia, Canada: A case study for assessing the feasibility of geological carbon storage
Abstract. This work describes early engagement with 21 First Nations or alliances, that represent 41 Nations, in British Columbia, Canada. Geological researchers conducted this work as a case study to assess the feasibility of carbon storage in serpentinite rocks. The priorities for engagement were to inform people about the project and its implications, get consent for fieldwork, have a discussion, and start building relationships. Aside from the geology and logistics of a site for a carbon storage project, the permitting and acceptance by the local community and the traditional lands‘ rightsholders are needed for a successful project.
The engagement levels and timelines varied from short phone calls to emails and video meetings. The general reception was positive, and people showed an interest and appreciated being contacted early. Common areas of discussion were water quality, salmon habitat, and involving the youth. This work outlines the first step for engagement, and further work will be done if a proposed CO2 storage project is to proceed.

General commentsNovel paper in the field of the energy transition. Please, follow my suggestions to bring the impact out and enlarge the views.Specific commentsLine 23. Provide detail on Carbfix technology due to the fact that you mention it multiple times.Lines 21-26. Mention the possibility to combine CO2 storage with geothermal energy production to reach climate goals on reduction of CO2. Please, refer to those papers that are relevant to CO2 storage / geothermal energy in basaltic and sedimentary rocks:- Buscheck, T. A., Bielicki, J. M., Edmunds, T. A., Hao, Y., Sun, Y., Randolph, J. B., & Saar, M. O. (2016). Multifluid geo-energy systems: Using geologic CO2 storage for geothermal energy production and grid-scale energy storage in sedimentary basins. Geosphere, 12(3), 678-696.- Medici, G., Ling, F., Shang, J. (2023). Review of discrete fracture network characterization for geothermal energy extraction. Frontiers in Earth Science, 11, 1328397.Line 51. Please, specify the 3 to 4 specific objectives of your research by using numbers (e.g., i, ii and iii).Lines 156-214. Large part of the discussion with no references. The purpose of the discussion is to merge the new insights of the manuscript with previous results and ideas in your field.Lines 412-607. Please, integrate the relevant literature suggested above on the importance of mafic and sedimentary rocks on the energy transition.Figures and tablesFigure 3. There is room to make the figure larger.Figure 3. Increase the font size of the words.Figure 4. Better tectonic setting if you refer to the trap system for the carbon dioxide. We're at a too large scale with "geodynamics". Just think about the right terminology.Figure 4. There is a link with geothermics, you should mention it also in the introduction.Citation: https://doi.org/
