PhD in Governance

At the Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development at Utrecht University, we have an exciting four-year PhD position available./nThe transformation towards a net-zero society in 2050 requires the decarbonization of industry. One of the potential pathways concerns green hydrogen. The Dutch government aims to achieve 4 GW of electrolysis potential for green hydrogen by 2030./nThis PhD project is part of a large consortium investigating conditions and measures contributing to the social acceptability of green hydrogen. In this PhD project, specifically the role of the Dutch government in shaping and steering the pathway(s) towards green hydrogen will be critically investigated, with particular attention to how these efforts can or should contribute to a just green hydrogen transition.
