The world is growing at an ever-increasing rate, but this growth has occurred alongside an energy model based on fossil fuels, which presents serious sustainability problems. The current study seeks to illustrate one of the new alternative energy schemes which could replace fossil fuels in the future: hydrogen. The promise of hydrogen fuel has led large nations to invest in transitioning their fossil fuel economies to a hydrogen-based model. This will result in significant social impacts, leading to the question, How should it be done? Social entrepreneurship can integrate socio-economic actors and agents and help them to devise and implement new forms of energy innovation, which will open spaces for new business models. The current study conceptualizes within a present-day context the connotations of the hydrogen economy at an international level, its implications to society, and its synergy with social entrepreneurship. The authors observed the rapid growth that these entrepreneurship initiatives are generating and how the models used to manage these undertakings play a vital role.

La transición energética y los problemas medioambientales producto del uso de los combustibles fósiles son una realidad materializada en los diferentes tratados y compromisos por parte de todas las economías a nivel mundial; sin embargo, para alcanzar las metas y el desarrollo sostenible, se requieren nuevas formas de innovación que creen espacio a nuevos modelos de negocios con impactos sociales significativos, de forma que no se sacrifique bienestar económico, social y ambiental. El objetivo del estudio actual es identificar cómo el emprendimiento social facilita la transición energética de las economías basadas en combustibles fósiles, hasta la creación de economías basadas en el hidrógeno. La investigación siguió una metodología cualitativa-descriptiva. Dentro de los principales resultados se encontró que el emprendimiento social, además de fomentar los espacios a los nuevos modelos de negocio, facilita la integración de actores y agentes socioeconómicos, lo cual, aplicado sobre los diferentes sectores a descarbonizar, fomentaría la inversión orientada hacia un cambio de raíz que conlleve a una sociedad de cero emisiones y a las diferentes mejoras sociales colaterales.
