Chapter Chapter 5 in Exploring the Hydrogen Economy, 2025, pp 166-197 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter examines the critical role of policy and regulatory frameworks in fostering the development of the hydrogen economy and industry. It begins by outlining the importance of key stakeholders in policymaking and regulation, highlighting their influence on hydrogen deployment. The chapter provides an overview of global policy trends, including governmental policies, incentives, and strategies to reduce investment risks, such as grants, competitive bidding schemes, tax incentives, and contracts for difference (CfDs). It emphasises the need for creating demand for hydrogen and the mechanisms that support this growth. The chapter also discusses regulatory frameworks and standards essential for hydrogen technologies, detailing the roadmap for standardization and certification. It explores the harmonization of international standards and the associated benefits and challenges. Public perception and awareness are also addressed, examining their impact on hydrogen adoption and strategies for improving public acceptance.
