Acceptance has been used in social science literature as a lens through which to anticipate possible challenges surrounding hydrogen technologies. However, very few studies problematize perceptions and focus on the production of hydrogen. Hence, this study aims to bridge these theoretical and empirical gaps using a mixed-method approach based on semi-structured interviews (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20097) and a questionnaire survey (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200973) to understand stakeholders\u2019 perceptions of hydrogen production sources through a social construction of technology lens.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The findings suggest a tendency to favor hydrogen produced from renewable sources and to reject hydrogen produced from non-renewable sources. All the examined groups conform to this pattern. Their perceptions are based on prior knowledge of hydrogen technologies, with participants seeking information from specialized sources or from activities promoted by their organizations. Participants anticipate that hydrogen will be generated primarily through renewable energy sources and utilized where direct electrification is unfeasible. In addition, they envisage that the hydrogen economy will enhance energy democracy through representative participation in decision-making. Nevertheless, it is acknowledged that the topic is limited to certain social groups and kept away from the public eye. Furthermore, unlike the benefits, the perception of risk appears to have no impact on perceptions\u2019 construction. High confidence in science appears to minimize the recognition of potential risks and bolster the recognition of potential benefits. There is, however, a lot of uncertainty about the possible real impacts of the hydrogen economy.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>There appears to be a collective perspective on hydrogen production sources, indicating the existence of social representations. Nevertheless, group attitudes and backing towards hydrogen vary. The participants identify hydrogen as a matter that remained unnoticed for over a decade, despite its prominent position in the policies and economic approaches of numerous countries. The topic has been relegated to third parties. This exclusion of civil society from decision-making may justify the NGO group's critical stance towards hydrogen. Moreover, it suggests that energy democracy, which is based on information dissemination and participation, is not being achieved.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13705-023-00429-w","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,1]],"date-time":"2024-03-01T18:01:47Z","timestamp":1709316107000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Stakeholders\u2019 perceptions of hydrogen and reflections on energy transition governance"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Cristina","family":"Parente","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Francisca","family":"Teixeira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Jorge","family":"Cerdeira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"429_CR1","volume-title":"Riscos Globais e Biodiversidade","author":"MA Martins-Lou\u00e7\u00e3o","year":"2021","unstructured":"Martins-Lou\u00e7\u00e3o MA (2021) Riscos Globais e Biodiversidade.
