The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Green hydrogen is discussed as an essential component of a climate-neutral energy system, particularly due to its potential for sector coupling and energy storage. At the same time, the hydrogen market faces numerous challenges, such as technological uncertainty, coordination issues and extensive infrastructure investments; implying that current developments are heavily influenced by political support and political framework conditions. In this talk, we provide an overview of developments in the hydrogen economy within the energy transition. We then present two ongoing research papers in which we explore local energy agencies as one variety of a local climate policy as well as political narratives from election manifestos and their relationship to the development of renewable energy technology.
