Public values for a Hydrogen energy system

关于公众(S)是否以及如何参与氢燃料技术，公众的看法很重要。值得注意的是，公众对氢技术的认识和理解目前非常低。人们的态度在很大程度上是积极的，但也是混合的，而且人与人之间存在差异；随着氢气技术的进一步扩散，这些态度可能会发生重大变化。目前对氢的理解是有限的，往往忽视了这项技术的更广泛的背景。建议采用混合方法进行研究，使用定性和定量方法来检查对未来可能出现的氢气技术情景的看法。这将使公众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，并能够考虑经验结果在整个人口中的普遍性，并提供识别谁可能接受氢技术的能力。还建议应用和发展以前确定的能源系统变化的公共价值，以了解新的氢系统的哪些特征可能会产生或拒绝接受。交付内容：-开发对氢技术的接受可能存在争议的情景。-通过对不同人口样本的细分分析，提供与英国公众对氢技术的接受有关的可概括的经验数据。-创建新能源系统接受的公共价值的量化评估工具。-确定和制定公众对新的氢能源系统的接受的关键价值。-进行学术演讲，并撰写学术论文，考察公众对氢技术的看法和价值观。

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.Deliverables:-Develop scenarios within which acceptance of Hydrogen technologies might be contentious.-Provide generalisable empirical data relating to public acceptance of Hydrogen technologies across the UK with a segmentation analysis of different population samples.-Create a quantitative assessment tool for public values for acceptance of new energy systems.-Identify and develop key values for public acceptance of a new Hydrogen energy system.-Give academic talks and produce academic papers examining public perceptions and values in relation to Hydrogen technologies.
