Description
Summary:The rise in global energy needs and the fight against climate change require the redefinition of the energy model around the issue of sobriety and the production of renewable energies. This article proposes to question the implementation of transition actions in France at the local level (Burgundy and Normandy) by looking at the case of hydrogen as an energy vector with a strong potential for decentralization and even citizen appropriation. We draw on experiences of "democratization" of energy through the living lab approach, which involves the active participation of different audiences around hydrogen, and which makes researchers actors committed to the approach participants like others. Halfway through the process, it appears that this original approach is encountering obstacles in reconciling its technical premises and the collaborative ethics of "doing" with which it is most often associated: hydrogen does not appear to be a "convivial" energy. Consequently, the question of the advent of a technical democracy through transition experiments is (at least momentarily) postponed in favor of the realization of projects whose playful dimension should eventually open up ethical and political questions that question researchers in the social sciences and humanities as well: should they work on transition or for transition? El aumento de las necesidades energéticas a nivel global así como la lucha contra el cambio climático requieren la redefinición del modelo energético en torno al tema de la sobriedad y la producción de energías renovables. Este artículo propone preguntar la implementación de acciones transitorias en Francia a nivel local (Borgoña y Normandía) centrándose en el caso de la energía a partir del hidrógeno como vector energético de alto potencial de descentralización, incluso apropiación ciudadana. Contamos con experiencias de "democracia" de la energía a través del enfoque living lab, que implica la participación activa de diferentes públicos en torno al hidrógeno, y que convierte a los investigadores en actores involucrados en el proceso participantes como los demás. A mitad de camino, parece que este enfoque original tropieza con escollos en la conciliación de sus premisas técnicas y la ética colaborativa del "hacer" con la que se asocia con mayor frecuencia: el hidrógeno no aparece como una energía "amistoso". Por tanto, la cuestión del advenimiento de una democracia técnica a favor de las experiencias de transición se deja de lado (al menos
