People’s Attitude to Energy from Hydrogen—From the Point of View of Modern Energy Technologies and Social Responsibility

Abstract

Energy from hydrogen is an appropriate technological choice in the context of sustainable development. The opportunities offered by the use of energy from hydrogen also represent a significant challenge for mobile technologies and daily life. Nevertheless, despite a significant amount of research and information regarding the benefits of hydrogen energy, it creates considerable controversy in many countries. Globally, there is a lack of understanding about the production process of hydrogen energy and the benefits it provides, which leads to concerns regarding the consistency of its use. In this study, an original questionnaire was used as a research tool to determine the opinions of inhabitants of countries in which hydrogen energy is underutilized and where the infrastructure for hydrogen energy is underdeveloped. Respondents presented their attitude to ecology, and indicated their knowledge regarding the operation of hydrogen energy and the use of hydrogen fuel. The results indicate that society is not convinced that the safety levels for energy derived from hydrogen are adequate. It can be concluded that knowledge about hydrogen as an energy source, and the production safety and storage methods of hydrogen, is very low. Negative attitudes to hydrogen energy can be an important barrier in the development of this energy in many countries.

Sustainability Orientation and Focus in Logistics and Supply Chains

“…This is one reason why new research in the area of SDGs with a purpose and goal to find new insights, regardless of the study area, is crucial. This research focuses on the logistics and supply chain sector but might also be related to other cases, for example, stakeholder perception towards hydrogen energy [153], electric vehicles [154], etc.…”

Sustainable Developement in Logistic – A Strategy for Management in Terms of Green Transport

“…However, as many studies was shown, that it can also be used to check the achievement of sustainable development goals [35] or prioritizing sustainable urban regeneration in sensitive areas [36], which points to its universality. Based on the literature data [8,9,15,37,38,39,40,41,42,43], the main factors for individual groups of the analysis were determined, i.e. strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats.…”

“…There are many problems when implementing new technologies and concepts in sustainable enterprise management (and not only logistics), ranging from organizational (management) barriers, through the enterprise culture and social attitude to the upcoming changes [12,13,14]. As the Klimecka-Tatar and Ingaldi (2020) point out, there are many barriers that cause a negative attitude to changes in habits with regard to the use of energy sources [15,16]. Such barriers are visible in almost all technological changes -not only in the concepts of technological development, but also in the concept of the Industry 4.0 strategy or the Lean concept [17,18,19,20,21].…”

Barriers to Knowledge Sharing in the Field of Information Security

“…− Specificity of knowledge and acquired forms of sharing. The issue of knowledge sharing barriers has been quite extensively researched and described in the literature, because the identification of key determinants of employee/people behavior is the basis for action by the management to modify and stimulate these behaviors and design knowledge-sharing practices tailored to the present conditions [5,33].…”
