Public values for a hydrogen energy system

公众的看法对于公众是否以及如何参与氢燃料技术非常重要。值得注意的是，目前公众对氢技术的认识和理解非常低。态度基本上是积极的，但人与人之间的态度不一；随着氢技术的进一步扩散，这些情况可能会发生重大变化。目前对氢的认识是有限的，往往忽略了更广泛的技术背景。研究建议使用混合方法，使用定性和定量方法来检查对未来可能的氢技术方案的看法。这将能够分析公众的看法，从而深入了解人们为什么以及何时接受氢技术，以及考虑整个人群的经验结果的普遍性的能力，并提供识别谁可能接受氢技术的能力。还建议应用和开发先前确定的能源系统变革的公共价值，以便了解新氢系统的哪些特征可能会产生或拒绝接受。

Public perceptions are important in relation to if and how public(s) may engage with Hydrogen fuelled technologies. Notably public awareness and understanding of Hydrogen technologies is currently very low. Attitudes are largely positive but mixed and variable between people; these are likely to change significantly as Hydrogen technologies proliferate further. Current understanding of perceptions of hydrogen are limited and tend to ignore the wider context of the technology. Research is proposed that uses a mixed methodology using both qualitative and quantitative approaches to examine perceptions towards likely future Hydrogen technology scenarios. This will enable an analysis of public perceptions allowing depth of understanding of why and when people accept Hydrogen technologies, as well as the ability to consider the generalisability of empirical results across the population, and providing the ability to identify who is likely to accept Hydrogen technologies. It is also proposed to apply and develop previously identified public values for energy system change in order to understand what features of a new Hydrogen system are likely to engender or deny acceptance.
