- Policy & Society
The future of hydrogen technologies and systems depends strongly on political and societal developments. Researchers at UT draw on socio-technical, psychological, policy, history, management and lifecycle expertise to study the social, political, business and environmental implications and conditions for hydrogen system.
Key topics of our research are the public acceptance and risk perception of hydrogen technologies, from the local level to international comparisons, and the development of societal and policy expectations on hydrogen technologies and systems over time. A further field is the role of hydrogen in the regional and global energy transition and its governance, the long-term development of and rearrangement of global relationships related to hydrogen systems, and the reorganization of supply chain relationships. Social and environmental lifecycle assessments are used to deepen our understanding of the impacts of hydrogen technologies and materials.
