TL;DRAbstract

In this thesis, I look at Norwegian hydrogen scientists and their interaction with policy and politics, asking the question of whether scientists have taken part in the making of policy for hydrogen as an energy carrier. Hydrogen has been suggested for various roles in the energy system, from dominating force in a new energy regime (the Hydrogen Society) to one of several potential low-emission fuels for transportation. Hydrogen has to varying degrees been connected to renewable energy, fossil fuels and nuclear energy (the latter has been seen internationally, but has not been an issue for policy in Norway). At the same time, hydrogen as an energy carrier represents a set of technologies that need to work together, and while production, use and storage of hydrogen is currently doable, it is not yet commercially viable without government support. Furthermore, hydrogen faces a set of issues related to infrastructure – hydrogen energy may be an option, but it requires allies to become rea
