Rethink Hydrogen
Rethink Hydrogen explores how participatory representations support dialogue about hydrogen transitions. Utrecht University and HKU developed a North Sea dialogue-lab prototype.

RESEARCH FOCUS
Utrecht’s contribution.
Presented in December 2024, the prototype makes relationships between infrastructure, resources and stakeholder priorities tangible.
- Explore transition choices through government, industry, community and nature roles.
- Use physical representations to discuss technical, ecological, economic and social relationships.
- Refine the dialogue tool through participant feedback and interdisciplinary exchange.
The scenarios support exploratory discussion. They are not forecasts of hydrogen deployment or representative measurements of public opinion.
