| dc.description.abstract | This thesis explores hydrogen-driven sustainable technologies for future energy hubs, addressing the urgent need for cleaner energy solutions amidst growing environmental concerns and the decline of fossil fuel resources. The primary objectives are to map technologies related to hydrogen energy, analyse their macro-environmental impacts, and examine the interactions within the hydrogen sector to identify gaps and develop viable business models.
Utilising a hybrid research design, the study employs qualitative analyses including PESTEL and SWOT, complemented by interrelationship and gap analyses. Methods such as comparative analysis and business modelling are also integral to understanding the economic viability and strategic integration of hydrogen technologies within global energy frameworks.
The findings reveal that hydrogen stands as a flexible and sustainable energy source, capable of significantly influencing future energy paradigms. The research highlights the potential for collaborative innovation across various sectors, advocating for strategic stakeholder engagement to harness full capabilities of hydrogen. It concludes that substantial opportunities exist for enhancing energy security and environmental sustainability through hydrogen technology, with future research needed to further explore economic models and refine deployment strategies within energy hubs. | |
