Master Thesis
How has hydrogen technology been framed in European media between 2018 and 2023?

- • How have broader societal and environmental concerns influence the framing of hydrogen technology, and what factors have contributed to its legitimacy?
Motivations
- Blue and green hydrogen as emerging technologies with potential to play a role in the transition to a low-carbon future.
- Lack of research on how blue and green hydrogen are framed in the media.
- Importance of raising public awareness of benefits and challenges of blue and green hydrogen.
