Climate change and environmental problems, increasing global energy demand, and un-certainties in energy supply have brought the production and use of sustainable energy resources to be crucial. Hydrogen, which is an important energy carrier, is being produced and used globally within the perspective of sustainable energy and environmental tech-nologies. Public awareness is an important step toward the spread of hydrogen energy (HE). In the literature, while public awareness studies focus on renewable energy sources, no study that examines public awareness in the field of HE in a way that addresses different perspectives has come across. This pioneering study aims to explore public awareness of HE by analyzing survey data collected from individuals via basic statistical techniques. Findings indicate that individuals' awareness of hydrogen energy mainly varies according to their knowledge level, education level, and age group. The results of the study will provide an important perspective for all stakeholders on hydrogen energy. Especially the policymakers should consider these results to constitute the frameworks of policy without compromising any perspective of public awareness. (c) 2022 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC.
