GLOBAL COOPERATION, HYDROGEN STRATEGIES AND INFORMATION PROCESSES AS PILLARS OF ENERGY CRISIS MANAGEMENT

Abstract

The current global energy crisis should not be understood merely as a technological or economic challenge, but rather as a crisis that touches upon fundamental questions of global governance and information management. This article examines the role of information processes in global energy policy, focusing its analysis on hydrogen as a strategic energy carrier. Based on an interdisciplinary literature review of scientific publications, international strategy documents, and reports from multilateral organizations, the article analyzes transnational hydrogen strategies, governance agreements, and digital energy infrastructures. The findings demonstrate that hydrogen-based energy systems can only be functional, resilient, and socially acceptable in the long term if they are supported by robust information architectures that enable coordination, transparency, and trust among the stakeholders involved. The article thus makes a conceptual contribution at the intersection of energy policy and information science, underscoring the central importance of information processes for managing global energy crises.
