Descrizione del progetto
Rete dottorale europea sulla regolamentazione dell’idrogeno
Finanziato dal programma di azioni Marie Skłodowska-Curie, il progetto THERESA istituirà un programma di ricerca dottorale incentrato sull’analisi giuridica sistematica dell’economia dell’idrogeno. I dottorandi riceveranno una formazione in interventi normativi sull’idrogeno, un campo di regolamentazione complesso e in crescita caratterizzato da un modello giuridico altamente frammentato. In qualità di economia emergente, presenta rischi, incertezze, nonché sfide legali e accademiche che devono essere affrontate. In questo senso, THERESA ha un triplice obiettivo: ridurre la frammentazione settoriale, promuovere l’uso sostenibile dell’idrogeno e stimolare l’impegno sociale verso l’economia dell’idrogeno. Al fine di raggiungere gli obiettivi del progetto, verrà utilizzata una metodologia basata sull’analisi dottrinale e comparativa, nonché sulla ricerca giuridica empirica.
Obiettivo
Thanks to the long standing collaborations among the Universities of Rovira i Virgili (Spain), Groningen (the Netherlands) and Eastern Finland (Finland), THERESA proposes the first European doctoral programme for legal specialists in the field of the hydrogen economy. In the context of climate emergency and socio-ecological transition of the Anthropocene, Green hydrogen is a promising energy carrier to facilitate the transition to an energy system based on renewable energies. Hydrogen can replace natural gas as a feedstock and help fossil-based economic sectors for which electrification is not possible, or excessively burdensome, to lower their greenhouse gas emissions. Yet, the development of a hydrogen market is characterized by uncertainties and associated economic, societal and environmental risks. The few existing scholarly legal studies on this subject matter highlights the fragmentation of the regulatory framework applying to hydrogen. THERESA combines the focus on three specific themes of regulatory intervention in the hydrogen economy – 1) reducing sectoral fragmentation to spur socio-environmental sustainability; 2) enabling sustainable circular use of hydrogen; and 3) societal engagement in the hydrogen economy – with three methodological approaches – doctrinal constructivism, empirical legal research and legal comparativism – to advance scientific knowledge and form the doctoral experts needed to contribute to the development of a hydrogen economy. THERESA encompasses a fully-fledged training programme offering substantive, theoretical, methodological and transferable skills to the Early State Researchers. THERESA addresses the gender dimension and other diversity aspects not only in the ESRs selection, but also in its theoretical framework.
