Realizing the pivotal roles of social acceptance and stakeholder engagement in the success of large-scale renewable energy initiatives in Australia, Nehemia is trying to fill the research gap by studying the social and environmental aspects of hydrogen and ammonia production for renewable energy projects. The main objective is to understand the factors influencing stakeholder perceptions and support for extensive renewable energy projects, particularly in hydrogen and ammonia production. The project aims to contribute valuable insights, addressing regional variations and informing sustainable practices for decarbonization.
