Webinar: What do Europeans know about hydrogen technologies? A state of play of public awareness, acceptance and uptake of hydrogen technologies

Join us for a new webinar on 7 July 2023 to discuss about public awareness, acceptance and uptake of hydrogen technologies.

Register now to find out and discuss the results of a 2022 public opinion survey on the public awareness of hydrogen technologies in Europe. We will also present the main objectives of HyPop, a new project in this field, identify the directions for future research and the actions needed to increase public awareness. Lastly, we will highlight some practical implications for messaging and policy, including the role of different actors in promoting the uptake and adoption of hydrogen technologies.

One of the Clean Hydrogen Joint Undertaking objectives is to increase public and private awareness, acceptance, and uptake of clean hydrogen solutions, through cooperation with other European partnerships under Horizon Europe.

Understanding how people think about hydrogen technologies and how this influences acceptance is an important area of future research as it can inform effective policy and industry standards, public education, and messaging, and assist with the implementation of the technology.

For this purpose, a public opinion survey was conducted in autumn 2022 in 27 EU countries to analyse and assess European citizens’ attitudes towards and level of knowledge of hydrogen technologies and determine a baseline for monitoring changes in public opinion over time.

The survey explores a range of issues, including knowledge and awareness of energy in general and of hydrogen energy in particular, and its results will be published on our website following the webinar.

We are looking forward to your participation.
