Reconciling the Conflicts of the Hydrogen Economy Through Open Dialogue
Local concerns—such as protecting nearby nature, preserving landscapes, and safeguarding property rights—can collide with broader climate goals. As Nina Wessberg and Essi Laitinen from VTT, together with Pasi Rikkonen and Aino Anttila from Luke, point out: “We must also ask who truly benefits from the hydrogen economy.” Read article in Maaseudun Tulevaisuus 8.11.2025 (In Finnish).

Socio-Technical Scenarios for the Finnish Clean Hydrogen Transition​
There are several scenarios and roadmaps to envision the diverse hydrogen futures, while little emphasis has been placed on social considerations or justice aspects of the transition. To bridge this gap, the JustH2Transit project created five (5) sociotechnical scenarios, each outlining possible future trajectories for the Finnish clean hydrogen transition.

State-of-play report now published
​
JustH2Transit-project is funded by the Strategic Research Council (SRC) established within the Research Council of Finland. SRC-projects need to produce a state-of-play report. The purpose of the report is to present the concrete research and social impact objectives of the project. Report is targeted at policymakers and other actors beyond the academia.
JustH2Transit state-of-play report is now published in Finnish.

Bachelor’s thesis published related to JustH2Transit
Bachelor’s thesis by Jenni Iso-Oja discusses the greenhouse gas emissions of two different hydrogen production technologies over their lifetime. Both technologies are covered in a few different scenarios. The emissions of hydrogen production give insight into how the green hydrogen transition should be realized. The research related to hydrogen production emissions is continued and several technologies are compared to gain a more comprehensive understanding.
