近年来，氢被重新定位为潜在地在全球能源消费的脱碳，特别是热能的脱碳中发挥重要作用。人们认识到，公众的支持将是其成败的关键，因此出现了一系列研究，调查公众在一系列不同背景下对氢的看法。这项研究的大部分都遵循了对人类行为的定量的、实证主义的理解，并试图找出决定氢气接受的具体因素。这篇文章提出了一个不同的氢转变研究议程，由于氢作为家庭燃料引入家庭天然气供应，这一议程是必要的和紧迫的。文章认为，目前氢感知研究的方法在理解和解释这种变化可能导致的社会和经济变革方面的能力有限。在这样做的过程中，它确定并概念化了三个有待进一步研究的领域：氢气如何有可能影响以天然气为能源的家庭取暖和烹饪的社会实践；它可能如何改变人们对燃料匮乏和能源不公平的生活体验；以及它可能如何扰乱或加强将开始部署氢气的社区的场所依恋。为了说明这一论点，本文介绍了一项研究项目的结果，该项目旨在探索英国公众对氢气混合的看法。根据这些发现，研究新出现的氢转变的潜在影响将需要更广泛和更深入地参与社会实践、能源公平和位置依恋理论。文章最后总结了这一论点对氢气研究人员的影响，并指出了新的氢气社会科学研究议程的挑战和机遇。
In recent years hydrogen has been repositioned as potentially playing an important role in the decarbonisation of global energy consumption, particularly the decarbonisation of heat. Reflecting a recognition that public support will be central to its success or failure, a body of research has emerged investigating public perceptions of hydrogen in a range of different contexts. The majority of this research has followed quantitative, positivist understandings of human behaviour and has attempted to pinpoint specific factors that determine hydrogen acceptance. This article proposes a different research agenda for hydrogen transitions, one that is necessary and urgent due to hydrogen's introduction to domestic gas supplies as a fuel for homes. The article argues that the approaches of current hydrogen perceptions research have a limited ability to understand and interpret the social and economic transformations that may occur as a result of this change. In doing so, it identifies and conceptualises three areas for further research: how hydrogen has the potential to impact gas-energised social practices of heating and cooking in the home; how it may shift lived experiences of fuel poverty and energy injustice; and how it may disrupt or enhance place attachments of the communities within which it will begin to be deployed. To illustrate the argument, the article presents findings from a research project exploring public perceptions of hydrogen blending in the United Kingdom. Drawing on these findings, it is shown how researching the potential impacts of emerging hydrogen transitions will require a broader and deeper engagement with theories of social practice, energy justice, and place attachment. The article concludes by summarising the implications of the argument for hydrogen researchers and pointing towards the challenges and opportunities of a new social science research agenda for hydrogen.
