Policy instruments and social license for hydrogen uptake in Scotland.

Maulet, Nicolas

Abstract

This conference paper proposes to critically explore several of the core features of Scotland's developing hydrogen policy framework. In doing so, this review focuses on policy instruments financing innovation, and designed to encourage hydrogen investments. This exploration touches on other policy programmes showing Scotland’s ambition to deliver a multi-purpose, multi-target, hydrogen policy. In a second moment, this paper technically considers why progressing on social license, and social acceptance investigation, should enhance Scotland's hydrogen policy toolbox. It will argue for more policy initiatives focusing on the demand-side of hydrogen in Scotland, and connect this discussion to leading views on social license, insisting on researchers' recommendations to policymakers to investigate the social acceptance of hydrogen.
