My research on Green Hydrogen (GH2) Supply Chains aligns closely with the key themes of the Future Infrastructure Policy, Innovation, and Society course. This course has deepened my understanding of how infrastructure policies and innovations can drive societal transitions while addressing equity and sustainability.
Policy and Equity
A major takeaway from the course is the importance of policy in ensuring a just transition. This insight informs my focus on analyzing global regulatory frameworks for GH2 supply chains, highlighting how they can promote equity. Policies that integrate marginalized communities into the green energy transition are essential, aligning with my aim to explore GH2’s social dimensions.
Innovation for Resilience
The course’s emphasis on innovation has inspired me to explore the idea of adaptive infrastructure, where systems evolve to meet societal and environmental challenges. My research echoes this by investigating GH2 as a sustainable and resilient energy solution.
Society and Stakeholder Engagement
Understanding the societal impacts of infrastructure is central to both the course and my project. The course’s focus on participatory decision-making has shaped my plan to engage policymakers, industry leaders, and communities in my research. This ensures my work is grounded in real-world challenges and opportunities.
The course has equipped me with a framework to connect policy, innovation, and society in my research on GH2 supply chains. By addressing both technological and social dimensions, I aim to propose solutions that support a just and sustainable energy transition.
