Gauging public perceptions of blue and green hydrogen futures: Is the twin-track approach compatible with hydrogen acceptance?

Heterogeneous preferences for living in a hydrogen home: an advanced multigroup analysis

“…18 To date, one small-sample study ( N = 58) has engaged directly with this area, showing 39% and 46% of respondents to be very and somewhat supportive of the twin-track strategy, respectively. 43 However, it emerged that environmentally engaged citizens were more likely to question the credentials of blue hydrogen, 43 mirroring critiques in the scientific literature. 304–306…”

“…51 By contrast, environmentally conscious UK citizens emerged as an outlier, instead conveying a degree of willingness to pay higher bills in promise of a greener (hydrogen) future, 80 which supports other findings. 43,262 Overall, it follows that adverse macro-economic conditions could significantly stifle prospects for transitioning to hydrogen homes.…”

A Comprehensive Systematic Overview of Canadian Hydrogen Supply Chains Downstream

“…A strong infrastructure, a smooth supply chain, and the broad adoption of hydrogen technologies all depend on adequate finance and the planned deployment of resources. One major obstacle to making well-informed decisions and accelerating the shift to hydrogen-based energy is the paucity of thorough research in these areas (Gordon et al, 2023a).…”

“…This may be due to the challenges associated with hydrogen storage, including the requirement for substantial space and infrastructure, safety issues arising from flammability and leakage, and energy losses during the process of converting back to electricity. However, storage is essential to the hydrogen economy because it helps to stabilize the supply of hydrogen and manage the erratic nature of renewable energy (Gordon et al, 2023a). There are opportunities for innovation and cooperation in hydrogen storage despite the industry's technological, financial, and environmental difficulties.…”

“…Next, our research shows that only 23% and 15% of the research highlighted investment on transportation and distribution, which may be due to high costs and complicated infrastructure needs, e.g., specialized vessels, trucks, and pipelines, that may prevent hydrogen from being widely available and inexpensive. Although Gordon et al (2023a) claim that in the hydrogen economy, transportation plays a crucial role in determining the cost, environmental effect, and delivery of hydrogen. It indicates a balanced strategy to fulfill market needs and guarantee timely supply to customers.…”
